Castle of Sand

Castle of Sand centers on a murder investigation in Shibuya, Tokyo, where a veteran detective, Imanishi, is faced with a challenging case. The discovery of a bruised and battered corpse leads him to unravel the mystery behind the victim's last words.

Alongside the detective's pursuit, the story intertwines with a prodigy named Waga Eiryo, who is composing an orchestral piece. This dual narrative adds depth to the film, enhancing the engagement with its themes of artistry and tragedy.
