A father goes missing in his search for "No Name"

Year of production : 2021

Director(s) : Shinzo KATAYAMA
Cast : Aio ITO, Jiro SATO, Hiroya SHIMIZU

Synopsis

Satoshi Harada and his daughter, Kaede live a peaceful life in a working-class neighborhood in Osaka. Satoshi tells Kaede, "I saw the serial killer who is wanted by the police. If I caught him I'd get a three-million-yen reward." Kaede shrugs this off. Dad's goofing around as usual... Then he disappears the next morning.
Left on her own, fearful Kaede looks for her father. The police are dismissive and tell her that most missing adults aren't found. Her pursuit continues until she hears that Satoshi Harada works at a local construction site. She visits the site and calls out to him. A young man responds to her father's name. He has the same identity but Kaede doesn't know who he is.
Devastated and confused Kaede notices a poster on a wall of a wanted man. A picture of the young serial murderer looks an awful lot like the man she met at the construction site...
