Just a Life

Ebata Kazuki became a psychiatric patient at the age of twenty-seven. With a loudspeaker and firecrackers he shouts his opposition to the Medical Treatment Supervision Bill. He doubts whether we can ascertain that a mental patient who committed a serious crime while non compos mentis is no longer dangerous. The filmmakers reflect on coexistence with others in contemporary society through Ebata’s personal story and life with his fellow patients.
