On the way home from the grocery store, Kasumi, who has an unbearable urge to go to the bathroom, stops by the neighbor Yokoyama's house. There is no one at her house, and Kasumi eventually commits her mistake in front of her house. Witnessing her constant pouring of Kasumi's chores, Yokoyama records her appearance on her cellphone and approaches her. Yokoyama forces her surprised Kasumi into her house and rents her bathroom. Kasumi is forced to take a bath. However, after a while, Yokoyama enters her bathroom and begins to harass Kasumi, threatening her with Kasumi's mistake as an excuse. Kasumi, who has no choice but to listen to all her perverted favors from Yokoyama, falls into her unwanted pleasures.

“Synchronic” is special, but it doesn’t succeed in achieving all the objectives it aims for. The film is a science fiction oeuvre which tries to be cerebral at some points, although the original idea is interesting, it only accomplishes to talk about some serious matters superficially.
"The Mitchells vs. The Machines" captures the eternal struggle between kids who want to pursue the arts and their practical parents who think they'll fail.
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
I understood post-memory as passing down stories and images of one’s experiences that are not your own. For decades, rape has been depicted in cinema through a third-person perspective, leaving the viewer to observe rape; not to experience it.
