A businessman, Tsuda, runs into a childhood friend, Kojima, on the subway. Kojima is working as a semiprofessional boxer. Tsuda soon begins to suspect that Kojima might be having an affair with his fiancée Hizuru. After an altercation, Tsuda begins training rigorously himself, leading to an extremely bloody, violent confrontation.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching descent into obsession and primal rage. The film's gritty realism and intense focus on physical and psychological struggle create a palpable sense of dread and impending violence. It's a visceral, character-driven experience that leaves you feeling bruised.
