Synopsis
At a bar named "Tsumi-horoboshi" ("Atonement"), in Shinjuku's Golden-gai district, the proprietress, Kasumi, and the bar's regular customers meet a mysterious woman, Toko. Toko drinks too much as if she wants to forget everything has happened in her everyday life. Meanwhile, the men start quarrelling over Kasumi. Drunken Toko is helped by one of the regular customers, and they become close, but she has a secret past with Kasumi's boyfriend who lives upstairs of the bar. The hidden past of four men and women gradually unfolds... Set in the Shinjuku Golden-gai in which numerous tiny bars are squeezed, the mature human drama "TSUGUNAI" eloquently depicts the narrowly-balanced relationship between four people, with a backdrop of eroticism and liquor. Director IMAOKA Shinji started his career as an assistant director for the late director KUMASHIRO Tatsumi and director ZEZE Yoshihisa, and has directed a number of "Pink" films. "TSUGUNAI" has its world premiere at OAFF.
