MISTAKEN IDENTITY follows two uneasy partners hiding out in the woods after a job goes spectacularly wrong. As tensions rise and their plan continues to unravel, the night descends into paranoia, dark humour, and buried resentment in this sharp and strange dramedy where nobody seems fully in control. Blending awkward comedy with simmering tension, MISTAKEN IDENTITY explores miscommunication, desperation, and the chaos that unfolds when bad decisions collide with even worse people.
In the late 1890s, coal is a precious new natural resource. During an era of rapid economic growth, dreams are instilled into the lives of many across Japan. A vigorous young man with a look of fearless determination, sets foot on the northern part of Kyushu, an area where Yakuza thrived. His name is Kingoro Tamai (Yujiro Ishihara). With plans to travel the world, Kingoro worked diligently at a coal mine. His loyalty and hard work earned the respect of his peers, his courage won the heart of the beautiful Mon (Ruriko Asaoka), and his success evoked jealousy in his enemies.
