MAHOROBA
MAHOROBASummary
At the Hudsucker corporate headquarters, a salaryman (“Me”) is the constant target of his hulking, bald, perverted boss’ violent retribution. Bittersweet childhood memories of Me’s late grandmother keep him going, but his brutal work life pushes him to the breaking point. Me gets sweet revenge and hightails it out of Tokyo, only to have his airplane violently hijacked. He’s dumped into the Pacific Ocean and onto the shores of remote island Mahoroba (an ancient Japanese word describing a far-off utopia).
Note: Screened at the 13th Shimokitazawa Film Festival on September 20, 2021, where it also won the Grand Prize among 12 nominated works.
