L’histoire

Résumé en anglais

Disgraced screenwriter Takuya Koizumi vanished after his TV drama “Loser” was cut at episode 7 and mocked online. Now he works at a convenience store, close to giving up. Returning home, he’s suddenly taken hostage in a local post office by Makoto Saegusa, a ruined middle-aged man who only wants to see his estranged daughter. During the standoff Saegusa realizes Takuya wrote the drama that once gave him courage and demands, at gunpoint, that Takuya “write the continuation of this incident.” As Takuya scripts events in real time, fiction and reality collide, and both men confront the past they want to redo, changing their lives.
