A harrowing, intimate portrait of a child trapped in cycles of poverty, abuse, and codependency with a deeply damaged parent.

Shuhei is leading a tough life. His alcoholic mother Akiko can only hook up with bad guys and order Shuhei to go get money from his disapproving grandparents instead of going to school. Except raising the little half-sister, his rock-bottom life seems to have no end.
