What happens
Jūkyūsai no Chizu (Japanese: 十九歳の地図), also known in English as A 19-Year-Old's Map, is a 1979 coming-of-age Japanese film written and directed by Mitsuo Yanagimachi. It is the director's first feature fiction film. It is based on the Kenji Nakagami novel of the same name. The lead actor, Yūji Honma, made his fiction debut here after appearing in Yanagimachi's documentary from 1978. The film depicts an introverted and embittered young man in the process of becoming an adult and discovering the loneliness of life and the failings of human beings. It was voted the 7th best Japanese film of the year by Kinema Junpo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
