Unfinished
The yakuza have their best days behind them and are only a shadow of themselves. The old rituals seem out of date and their tattoos make them outcasts of society. The inexperienced student Ryō stumbles into their ranks by chance, and before he knows it, he becomes entangled in dark machinations. He quickly succumbs to the fascination of omnipotence fantasies and hedonistic decadence and sinks deeper and deeper into a parallel world of prostitution, blackmail and violence. However, there is one thing that Ryō has not considered in his naivety: once yakuza, always yakuza!
One Son
A telephone call informs Ituski that his father has collapsed. He still cares, but father and son have not had the best of relationships. Ayumi is a professional mover and misses having a father. These men are unconnected and unrelated, but their pasts and states bind them through nothing more than a piece of paper.
