What they share
Both films are directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, and they sit in Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to 12 Suicidal Teens, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What First Love is
A Kyoto dorm room in autumn. A stack of unmarked notebooks shakes on the desk. A student’s path veers from textbooks to a borrowed knife. A psychologist’s footnote grows into a whole shadowy floor.
