Synopsis

46億年の恋

“A visually stylish tale of two male prisoners bonded by emotion, love and murder.”

An unknown future. A boy confesses to the murder of another in an all-boy juvenile detention facility. More an exercise in style than storytelling, the story follows two detectives trying to uncover the case. Homosexual tension and explosive violence drives the story which delivers some weird and fascinating visuals.
