飢えたライオン
The Hungry Lion
Nippon Visions ½
After one of Hiromi’s teachers is arrested for having sex with a minor, a leaked video reveals another affair of his. Soon rumors spread that Hiromi is the girl in the video, leading her classmates and the media to create a public figure out of her which, inevitably, leads to disaster. Using a distant and undramatised style, Takaomi OGATA presents a biting commentary on the age of fake news.
