Charisma

Summer. A mountain road blocked by tape. The detective’s radio crackles one name. A missing politician held by a man who names trees the way others name sins. The detective hesitates, then vanishes toward a cedar so twisted it looks like a signature scrawled in bark. Kurosawa folds a thriller into a half-remembered dream.
