JAPAN – The film is based on the novel ‘Moon’ written by Yo Henmi, inspired by the Sagamihara incident.
The film is set in a facility for the severely disabled, where the disabled are repeatedly subjected to heartless treatment and violence. The story depicts an employee with an irrationally amplified sense of justice and mission as he approaches the incident.
In June of last year, the users of “AGALA” (Arita City, Wakayama Prefecture), a facility that supports the employment of people with disabilities, were offered the chance to appear in a movie. It was through an acquaintance of Morihiro Uenoyama, 47, the head of the facility.
