A caustic, melancholic portrait of adolescent disaffection and nihilism, where a typhoon becomes both literal confinement and metaphor for the emotional turbulence of growing up.
Offering a caustic immersion into the lives of disaffected junior high students on the cusp of adulthood, the film takes place over the 5-day period before, during, and after a ferocious, seemingly liberating typhoon, which six of the students endure while marooned in their school.
