There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“These are Yamamoto’s politics: to squat, to squander, and to soil reality. Whether anyone takes notice is beyond him; his unceasing state of resistance exists beyond society and blooms by virtue of its separation from its norms.”
—Screen Slate

Motherhood has never been so punk. Masashi Yamamoto’s gritty 16mm jishu‑eiga sees single mother Kumi (Kumiko Ohta) hand her kid over to her ex and descend into a dark underground of squatters, hustlers, and explosives hobbyists for one last hurrah. A cry from the gutter from the director of ROBINSON’S GARDEN and WHAT’S UP CONNECTION in a new 2K restoration.
