Synopse

In his thriller about the chasms in the online economy, Japanese cult director Kyoshi Kurosawa paints a picture of an anonymous, digital society in which anything seems possible, but with unforeseeable consequences. Yoshii is a seller of goods that he buys cheap and resells on the Internet. But a sinister element creeps in to his increasing success, threatening messages and accusations are being spread. In the network of his business, a collective mania grows that ends in a spiral of violence.
