STORY
A government-sponsored program brings 6 strangers to Uobuka, a small town by the sea.
Tsukisue is the pleasant and efficient city official who is in charge of the program.
As Tsukisue learns the shocking truth, a body is discovered...
Director Daihachi Yoshida and his all-star cast find the heart in the characters that face an extreme situation in this story full of hope and mystery.
Six strangers, 4 men & 2 women, arrive in Uobuka, a small, shabby harbor town. Tsukisue is the unflappable, nonchalant city official who is assigned to be in charge of "acclimating" the 6 strangers into this town.
They are part of a secret government program to release convicted felons back into society. Their "past" has not been revealed to Tsukisue or the townspeople.
Fukumoto is a timid, quiet, barber's apprentice.
Ohta is the sexy, approachable caregiver.
Kurimoto is the awkward but methodical janitor.
The close-mouthed, scarred launderer, Ohno.
Sugiyama is an intimidating fishing boat operator.
And Miyakoshi is a carefree, inquisitive deliveryman.
Tsukisue soon learns the shocking truth; they are all convicted murderers.
The six try to blend in with the town while carrying the burden of their sins.
The discovery of a body in the harbor starts to bring Tsukisue, his high school classmate Aya, & the people of this small town to intersect in an emotional climax.
Six strangers with a past. To trust them? Or to suspect them?
