Synopsis
On June 27, 1994, in the town of Matsumoto, Japan, seven people are killed and six hundred injured by an attack of the nerve gas Sarin. A short time later, the police come up with a suspect: office worker Toshio Kanbe. The media are quick to pronounce Kanbe guilty. During the spring of the next year, a similar attack occurs on a Tokyo underground train. The Matsumoto case is re-opened and Kanbe is completely rehabilitated - but his life and reputation have already been ruined. A year after the terrible event, a group of pupils decide to make a film about the press campaign. They pay a visit to the news desk of a regional broadcaster and ask the editor-in-chief, Makoto Sasano, to provide an account of the circumstances of the case...
