OGATAを捜す'92

The film is a documentary-style drama about the search for OGATA, a friend from the film club at university who disappeared before graduation and is now missing. Carrying a video camera, the protagonist visits his old friends to find out what happened to OGATA. It seems as if his purpose is to go around declaring that he is looking for OGATA (who everyone wants to see). His friends are disgusted and tell him to "grow up". Eventually, the protagonist finds out that OGATA is in Kyushu and goes to see him with his camera. Seeing him for the first time in a long time, OGATA begins to talk about the reasons for his disappearance and his current life. This is a story of self-discovery through the act of searching for a friend. The film is as close to a documentary as possible, but it skillfully approaches the psychological structure of the protagonist, a moratorium man.
