HAPPYEND / Fiction Feature / 2024

Set in a near-future Tokyo where the threat of a catastrophic earthquake pervades daily life, “Happyend” follows two rabble-rousing best friends as they are about to graduate high school. One night, they pull a consequential prank on their principal, which leads to a surveillance system being installed in their school. Stuck between the oppressive security system and a darkening national political situation, the two respond in contrasting ways, leading them to confront differences they never had to face before.
