Innocent 15

Gin is a 15-year-old boy. He knows that his father is a gay and he wonders if he might be the same. Narumi is a 15-year-old girl. Her mother tells her she should prostitute herself. Narumi decides to go to her father in Tokyo. Gin tells Narumi that he is going as well. The two 15-year-olds set out on a trip to Tokyo.

Directed by Hirokazu Kai, Innocent 15 leans on a strong ensemble — Riku Hagiwara, Sara Ogawa, Jukiya Kageyama — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2016.
