Experiencing Interruptions?

Long goodbye

Miyazaki, Shibata, Sueda, and Chen, who work at a small factory on Awaji Island, spend their days with a sense of stagnation and no change.
One day, Sueda learns that the president of the factory has a large amount of money hidden away that he has saved through tax evasion.
Sueda invites Chen to join him in a plan to steal the large sum of money, but Chen's outburst nearly derails the plan, and Sueda is forced to ask Miyazaki and the others for advice.
The plan was to divide the money into four equal shares, but...
The story is an escape from the vortex of a robust daily life and condensed depression. The film depicts the new daily life that awaits them after crossing the line.
This is the Awaji Island Crime Movie!
