Our Problems

About This Movie

The film follows John and Tom, two teens caught in a cycle of crime, highlighting the desperation that fuels their choices. The atmosphere is heavy, a palpable tension permeates every scene, accentuated by the sparse and often haunting score. Satou's storyline adds a layer of complexity, revealing the struggles of young women in similar dire situations.
