The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2018: After School

Jinno (Yo Oizumi) is a middle school teacher whose friend Kimura (Masato Sakai) and his wife are expecting a baby. On the day of the baby's birth, however, Kimura suddenly goes missing. Meanwhile a seedy private detective (Kuranosuke Sasaki) hired by a black company seeks the whereabouts of Kimura. Before long, previously unknown and shocking facts about Kimura are revealed and the situation turns to a course nobody could have predicted. 

Known for his powerful plot twists, this early work by director Kenji Uchida is a hidden gem filled with puzzles and surprises.
