The private eye meets *The Truman Show* in 1960s Tokyo as a documentary crew hunts a vanished white-collar fugitive.

A single missing embezzler becomes the pivot for a hunt that spirals through liars and lost addresses.

Imamura turns the lens on Japan’s quiet exodus, carried by an everyman whose face nobody can quite remember.
