Nippon Retro   ² 

The trail of a fugitive criminal leads the police to a woman from his past whom he might contact. Two detectives conduct a stakeout, but she appears to be a paragon of innocence and normalcy. Can she really have ties to a criminal, or is there something about her that escapes the watchful gaze of the investigators? Yoshitaro NOMURA’s suspenseful crime drama slowly reveals the characters’ complex backgrounds.
