Even the end of the world can be happy—if you're with the right people.
This could be one way to interpret the message of Neo Sora’s feature debut, Happyend.
As Tokyo’s population braces for a potentially catastrophic earthquake, schoolmates and best friends Yuta and Kou decide to pull a special prank at their principal’s expense. The fallout leads to the implementation of a strict surveillance system at their school, straining the once unbreakable bond between the two companions.
Yukita Hidaka and Hayato Kurihara deliver convincing performances as lifelong best friends, supported by a screenplay that emphasizes their natural dialogue. Director Neo Sora has crafted a visually stunning and intelligent debut that engages all the senses while exquisitely portraying both universal relationships and societal change.
