Hiroyuki Nagashima

Like a noise rock Brave New World with echoes of Alphaville, this gorgeous black and white vision of Japan after a nuclear disaster pits chaos against control and secret agents against an oppressive government agency.

Akashi, a solitary man with no family, does the dirty work for Hiramoto, a yakuza boss. His life changes when he meets Yo, a Chinese restaurant worker who has no place to live. As a fellow struggler, Akashi opens up and offers her his home but soon realizes that this decision will bring unforeseen consequences.
