Description:

Set in Saitama during the early Heisei period, a suburb of Tokyo grapples with the aftermath of the economic bubble burst. Following new gangster countermeasures, a fragile peace is shattered as traditional gangsters desperately defend their dwindling territories. Simultaneously, a rising tide of fearless young people asserts their dominance, freely controlling the city's streets. The escalating youth conflict swiftly surpasses the influence of the established yakuza, leading to widespread chaos. As the struggle for power intensifies, countless young runaways are caught in the escalating violence and subsequently confined to juvenile prisons. Behind these imposing gray walls, they encounter a brutal world governed by exclusive rules, forcing them into an even more profound battle for survival. Adapted from a true story, this film explores the volatile intersection of generational conflict and societal breakdown.
