A message arrives on Himuro's smartphone from his son Yuta, who is now a high school student. Himuro stares at the message with a startled expression. The message is a single word - Revenge. Then, there is a picture of Yuta, gagged and staring resentfully at the lens. "A school trip to Taiwan... Revenge..." Himuro assumes that the remnants of the "Black Dragon" who killed Kaku and his friends in Okinawa have kidnapped Yuta to take revenge on him, and immediately decides to go to Taiwan to rescue his son.

Excellent but underrated film
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
