Plot introduction of Anger
On a hot summer’s day in the Hachioji suburb of Tokyo, a couple were brutally murdered. Afterwards, the murderer wrote a big “angry” word on the wall with blood, and then fled and disappeared for a year. In the meantime, three unidentified men meet up with people around them. Once self-depraved, Aiko (Miyazaki) is led back to his seaside town by his father (Ken Watanabe), where he encounters Tetsuya (Matsuyama Kenichi), who is not good at talking. Yuma (Satoshi Yutomi), a gay man working in Tokyo, brings home the gentle Naoto (Tsuyoshi Ayano), who doesn’t trust each other, but tries to. Koizumi (Suzu Hirose), who has moved to Okinawa with his mother, lands on a deserted island with schoolmate Tatsuya (Hiroshi Sakumoto), where he meets backpacker Tanaka (Miku Moriyama) in the ruins, and they briefly become friends before a terrible fate suddenly befalls Izumi. Soon after, wanted warrants spread across the country, raising questions about the true identities of the three men…
The film is based on the original book of the same name by Shuichi Yoshida.
