Island of Dreams
Thriller
Synopsis
A case-hardened cop is pitted against a young eco-terrorist. The title "island" is an artificial construct in Tokyo Bay, a mountain of garbage, a by-product of Japanās economic boom years. The filmās protagonist Alan works there, almost buried under societyās detritus; his growing obsession with the search for āwhat has been lostā turns him into a "dangerous" activist. He targets the industrialist Wada, whose chemical factory secretly discharges toxic waste into the environment. But the cop Terayama, who thought heād seen it all, starts researching eco-activism and soon suspects the haunted, taciturn young man heās encountered in the neighborhood.
