Whistleblower

Hakkaku is a section chief at a mid sized company. He has been in the same post for years. He keeps his targets at the minimum. In meetings he mostly sits in silence. The people around him take him for lazy. One day he does something unexpected. He files a complaint against his superior Sakado. The subject is pressure applied at work. The complaint is upheld and Sakado is removed. That sets off a disturbance inside the company. Then another matter comes to the surface. There is a problem the company has been hiding. What is said in the meeting rooms grows heavier. The film is about the corporate order between the lines. It was adapted from a novel by Jun Ikeido. Mansai Nomura and Teruyuki Kagawa appear in the hundred and nineteen minute film, a Japanese production Katsuo Fukuzawa finished in 2019.
