A group of high school students are forced into a game where they are hypnotized to commit suicide on an unknown command. Where no one is safe from a sudden death, how can they avoid their fates?

Even on the morning of the important entrance exam interview, Megumi had her usual nightmare. The dream is a scene of group bullying to her sister Nao in her after-school classroom. And Nao goes to the platform of the station ... Oversleeping Tamegumi runs to the station. She rushes to the train just before departure while she hits a man in a suit on the way. The time is "9:20". The slight train delay caused by this rush ride will then upset the fate of various people.

The final film in the FUGAKU series. Set on a university campus, the film parallels a gun battle between a group of people plotting to assassinate the ‘President’ and a conversation between students and professors who have gathered to compose the theme song for the university’s film festival. Directed by Shinji Aoyama in collaboration with Tama Art University, this rarely-seen experimental three-part series (2012–2015) explores cinema as a dynamic, living medium. Combining student-led production with theatrical adaptation and meta-narrative devices, FUGAKU challenges conventional filmmaking while interrogating the boundaries between fiction, reality, and creative education.
