Plot

In the darkest corners of Thailand, child prostitution and organ sales flourish. In order to save a child's life, another life must be taken. An outraged Japanese journalist and a passionate young Japanese NGO member attempt to save "children of the dark" from being consumed by arrogance and greed. However, the harsh realities of life intervene... Adapting Yan Sogil's book, which unflinchingly portrays the tragic realities unfolding today, filmmaker Junji Sakamoto directs a talented multinational cast to bring these stark events to life.

biniBningPunkista Jul 21 2009 7:59 pm this is not the first time that miyazaki will be teamed up with Yosuke Eguchi. The last time i've seen them together was in synesthezia. both of them looked younger. though Miyazaki doesn't look older at all... this probably be as dark as her other movies. Only with much more substance. I hope there would be an english subtitle for this.
