Set in near-future Tokyo, Happyend follows five high school friends drifting toward graduation under the daily threat of earthquakes. Music, laughter, and teenage rituals hold them together—until a prank on a teacher’s car sparks a harsh crackdown. Their school installs an AI-powered surveillance system that punishes even the smallest act of defiance, straining friendships and eroding their sense of freedom. Premiering at Venice and winner of the Young Cinema Award at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards, Neo Sora’s debut narrative feature is a tender, affecting exploration of friendship, fear, and resilience in an age of control.
