Intolerance - Japan Foundation Tour

AOYAGI Naoto (MATSUZAKA Tori) runs a supermarket. One day, he sees a middle school girl stealing cosmetics at his store. Chasing her as she was running from his supermarket, Naoto witnesses her hit by a lorry and a car and tragically die from the accident. The girl's father, SOEDA Mitsuru (FURUTA Arata), who brought up the girl alone cannot stomach the accident nor accept the accusation that his daughter was running away after stealing from the store.

Unable to handle his anger and sorrow, he begins to push people involved in his daughter's death, including Naoto and the car driver, into a corner. As Naoto and the female car driver comes under the insane and intense pressure of Mitsuru and media frenzy, their normal life is overturned and they are losing their way...

Becoming a regular for the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme, our previous guest YOSHIDA Keisuke once again manages to dig up human behaviour and psychology in depth in this poignant original film, reflecting contemporary sin, deception and forgiveness.
