SYNOPSIS
Future Tokyo introduces an unconventional traffic initiative: instead of penalizing reckless drivers, authorities deploy reward-based patrols to encourage safe road habits. An ordinary commuter finds himself thrust into this new system when he's cruising the metropolitan expressway, his favorite song playing through the speakers, completely unaware that his driving is about to become the center of something far stranger than a routine commute. A pink car materializes in his rearview mirror, and what begins as a simple traffic encounter transforms into something surreal. The road ahead becomes a test of instinct and survival as this everyday driver navigates not just traffic, but the bizarre collision of human error, chance, and a future where even the best intentions can spiral into chaos. This one-shot animation captures the absurdity of modern urban life through the lens of a single, transformative drive. It's equal parts darkly comedic and unsettling, pulling you into a moment where normalcy bends in unexpected directions. A perfect watch for those drawn to experimental storytelling that finds profound strangeness in the mundane.
