"There are people who are willing to sacrifice a part of their lives to face me."
A probation officer and film director makes a film on the theme of juvenile rehabilitation
The film was screened at a meeting held at the Ministry of Justice on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, bringing together the directors of 43 juvenile prisons across the country.
The article is based on an interview by JNN after the screening.
STORY
Hiroyuki (53) and Sonoko (42) run an okonomiyaki restaurant in Sennichimae, Osaka.
While the store is struggling to operate due to an incident caused by a former employee, Hiroyuki is interviewed at a juvenile detention center.
They decide to hire Hayato (18), who tells them, "I want to start over! I want to be reborn!"
Yuto's parents refuse to sponsor him.
On the other hand, Hiroyuki went astray when he was young and lost his younger brother to a lynching by a gang.
After being released on parole, Yuto begins living in the company dormitory and tries desperately to learn his job.
With my first paycheck, I bought a present for my father and went to deliver it, but he had already moved away.
Abandoned by his mother at a young age, and with the only means of communication with his father, the phone, now out of service, Yuto is abandoned by his parents once again.
He ends up contacting Takumi, a former thieving partner.
Then, at the club where Takumi takes him, he has a fateful encounter with Yukiha (17).
"I'm going to break up with my ex. Let's start over together," she promises, and the two of them start living together.
It also affects Hayato's work attitude.
After Koga suddenly disappears, Yuto gradually becomes isolated at the store and starts to act out of control.
What can Hiroyuki and Sonoko do for Hayato, both as guarantors and as individuals?
Yuto himself is faced with a situation where he is forced to make a choice about his future.
INTRODUCTION
A few years ago, I met people from the Job Parent Project, which helps former prisoners find employment.
Committing a crime, losing one's place in the world, and finding no meaning in life.
However, he offers a helping hand to former prisoners who want to get their lives back on track.
"Reflection can be done alone,
Rehabilitation cannot be done alone.”
I was touched by the company managers who were ready to act as parents and provide support.
I don't have a company that can offer me a job,
You can start a film company!
And so this film was born.
