Forget grades at Hyakkaou Private Academy, gambling is the only way to succeed.

Blackjack, poker, rock-paper-scissors – winners rule the school. This year, the ultimate prize is up for grabs - a ‘blank future’ that allows the winner to do whatever they want after graduation. This is a comic satire of a society that is congenial on the surface but brutal underneath, with no second chances.

Screening as part of The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2020 - Happiness is a State of Mind: Joy and Despair in Japanese Cinema. 

Organised by the Japan Foundation with Major Support from Japan Airlines, Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, and Yakult, with Sponsorship in Kind from SUQQU, and in Cultural Partnership with Modern Culture.
