Outline
Superficially, it is a documentary about an ordinary man who—like many Japanese every year—disappears without trace, leaving his job and fiancée behind.[2][3] Imamura, though, takes the narrative in unexpected directions, causing the viewer to question what is reality and what might be fiction.[4]
