You Are Still in the Long Tunnel

Based on the manga "So Dangerous!?", which was released in 2019 and became an internet sensation, this coming-of-age film follows a group of high school students as they question the future of Japan. Asami Takahashi, a high school senior, has her own ideology about politics, influenced by her father, a former Ministry of Finance official. In her political economy class, she questions her teacher about her doubts, and ends up debunking him. Eventually, Asami, along with her classmates Abe and Nakatani, stand up to revitalize the declining shopping arcade, hoping to make the future a little brighter with their own power. On her way home, Asami visits a young local reporter, Mr. Arahata, to ask him to write a newspaper article about a festival in the shopping arcade, and on her way home she meets a talented councilor, Mr. Muto, who used to be a Sentai hero.
