## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Late August, an unmarked DVD on a tatami mat.

First reunion in years turns sour when the disc shows a man in a shipping container. Hideaki’s stomach drops—old punishment games.

Like Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s body-horror parables, cruelty keeps score in school uniforms.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, dread, raw
