Once at the center of Japan’s government, Natsumi abandoned his post after unbearable stress and a family tragedy. He returns to his family farm, but his mind is no refuge. Convinced he is constantly monitored and carrying a mission to reshape Japan into a utopia, he is consumed by schizophrenia. Paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions fracture his world, dissolving the line between reality and fantasy. Seen through his eyes, the film becomes a portrait of instability, a vision suspended on the shifting border between life and death.
