What is "Bugonia" Actually Trying to Say?
The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.
JAPAN, Our Homeland
The 31st year of the Showa Era (1956) marked the tenth year since Japan's defeat in World War II. It was when Japan took its first step out of post-war poverty to rejoin the international community. In old downtown Tokyo, a teacher and her students try to pass down Doyo (Japanese traditional children's songs) as the root of Japanese cultural identity to the future generations.
