Film OVERVIEW
Yuki, a high school student living in rural Japan, is the protagonist of "TSU," a coming-of-age tale. With his graduation date approaching, he is overwhelmed by the weight of expectations that have turned into frustrations. The stress of his challenging university entrance exams and complicated family relationships has become unbearable, prompting him to flee to the mountains.
In the wilderness, Yuki encounters a self-sufficient community of individuals who have been living off the grid for years. By shedding his old life and embracing new, unbridled experiences, Yuki gains a crucial insight: true freedom only comes after everything has been lost.
