 かつて
暴走族だった主人公ヒサシは、同棲するジュンコとパチンコ通いの毎日。シンナーもやめられないていたらくで借金だけが嵩んでゆく。そんなヒサシに族時代からの友人で闇金屋の小澤が
話を持ちかける。「なぁヒサシ、シンナーなんかやめて俺と一緒に飛ばねえか?」 地方都市を走る国道。両脇を埋めるカラオケBOX、パチンコ店、消費者金融のATM、ドンキ･･･。現代の日本、とりわけ地方のありきたりの風景。ヒサシは夜の国道の灯が届かないその先に闇を見つけてしまった。宇宙のようにからっぽで、涯てのない闇のなかで繰り返されるありふれた事件、そしてかつて見たシンナーの幻覚の残像がヒサシを手招きする。 「ほんで俺も行ってもいいの?ホント?ホントに?」 Hisashi was once a member of a motorcycle gang. Now he plays pachinko everyday with his live-in girlfriend, Junko. He has a habit of "huffing" paint thinner. His debts accumulate every day. Hisashi's old friend from the gang, Ozawa is a loan shark. He persuades Hisashi to join his easy-money-making scheme, "Quit inhaling paint thinner and score big with me!" Hisashi's dead-end life is made up of the same things that symbolize contemporary rural Japan: Karaoke clubs, pachinko parlors, ATM loan machines and discount outlets along a highway. In this ordinary place that is just like hundreds of other small towns in Japan, Hisashi sees the darkness. Darkness that is out of the reach of neon lights along the highway. In the vacuum of this darkness, life repeats itself endlessly. Hisashi has a flashback of a paint-thinner trip he once had. The hallucination tempts him to the other side. Tantalized, he asks himself, "Can I really go?" |
