Tokyo Plastic

Hikikomori: Tokyo Plastic... the trailer. I have no idea what this is about but it looks cool. No, wait. Here we go.

The story of "Hikikomori: Tokyo Plastic" is explained in large part in the title of the film. In real life Japan, a hikikomori is a person who has decided to drop out of society, often retreating into the dark confines of their apartment or bedroom, never stepping outside and shunning the light of day for years. The Japanese government estimates that there are over 6,000 hikikomori's living in Japan today, but some psychiatrists claim that there at least 1 million of them lurking within Japanese society.

I resemble that remark!
