    • Synopsis
    • Not long ago, the people of Japan’s Saitama Prefecture suffered terrible discrimination from the neigbouring metropolis of Tokyo and couldn’t even enter the capital without a passport. Those caught without their papers were forcibly expelled. Studying in an elite private school in Tokyo is Momomi Hakuhodo (Nikaido), the spoiled son of the city’s governer. Momomi is president of the student council and sits atop a hierarchical pyramid with the reviled Saitamites at the bottom. The arrival of Rei Asami (Gackt), a transfer student from the U.S., turns Momomi’s life upside down. Before long, the pair become inseparable but when Momomi learns Rei is a Saitamite and key member in a movement to abolish the passport system, he’s faced with a difficult decision.
