Imagining a dystopic, yet seemingly very real, near future, where senior citizens pose a tangible threat to the country’s economy, and elaborating on social values and a spirit of self-sacrifice, Chie Hayakawa spins a quietly subversive tale of lives caught in the cobweb of Plan 75, a government program that encourages euthanasia for people over 75 years of age. Her clean direction, gentle storytelling, and rigorous visual style never stray from reality, striking a perfect balance between lyricism and gritty social commentary.
