## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You squat in a bombed-out corridor trading cigarettes for razor blades when a phone rings in the next room. A voice you’ve never heard orders you to pick a side. The city outside has no more pavements, only rubble and rumor. The camera never lets you stop moving.

Fukasaku’s handheld shots outrun any clean ending.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, paranoid, raw, unhinged
