6^e FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DU FILM POLICIER

Disaster

Yutaro SEKI & Kentaro HIRASE

Au Japon, des décès inexpliqués surviennent aux quatre coins du pays. Chargée de l’enquête, l’inspectrice Domoto rassemble des indices épars, explore des scènes sans connexion apparente et reconstitue des trajectoires qui ne se croisent jamais. À mesure que les pièces s’assemblent, un homme à l’allure changeante apparaît en marge de chaque drame, toujours présent mais jamais directement impliqué…
