寧靜社區發生離奇命案,長照中心主任與一名長者同時被發現陳屍屋內。檢察官展開調查,證據卻指向平時待人和善、總是細心照護長者的看護。隨著越來越多非自然死亡個案曝光,看護的過去也逐漸浮上檯面,檢察官不禁動搖:眼前這個極富愛心與同理心的人,真的是十惡不赦的殺人魔嗎?
改編自推理作家葉真中顯的同名代表作,劇本深入社會肌理,在高齡化的當代日本,直指社會安全網缺口,揭開政府的失能瘡疤。由謀殺罪責開展,擴及對社會福利、長照、安樂死、死刑存廢等多面向討論。松山研一、長澤雅美多場激辯對戲,挑戰演技高峰。當《楢山節考》披上文明外衣,驚悚的連環殺人事件,竟成為一塊敦促社會思辨的敲門磚。
A tense psychological battle ensues between Shiba, a dedicated caregiver suspected of 42 murders, and prosecutor Otomo, who is striving to bring Shiba to justice for his heinous crimes. Shiba's societal disillusionment morphed him into a methodical killer, while Otomo challenges his reasoning in the name of the law. Both hold steadfast to their beliefs, yet the question remains: who will ultimately be proven wrong?
