Set in a quiet provincial town, #Kakusan tells the haunting story of Asaoka Shinji (Narita Ryo), a devoted caregiver whose life unravels after the sudden death of his wife following a vaccination. Consumed by grief and suspicion, Shinji blames the attending doctor and tirelessly petitions for justice, clinging to his wife’s portrait as a symbol of love and loss.
As media attention grows, Shinji is hailed as a “figure of unwavering devotion,” his image soon co-opted by anti-vaccine movements. Yet, the deeper his obsession with his late wife becomes, the further he drifts into solitude — and the fragile line between love and madness begins to blur.
Would you like me to make a Chinese version of this polished write-up as well (for your bilingual posts)?
