Boy

Staying in a plush hotel after he has earned the family a big payday by playing the victim in a faked accident, Toshio (Tetsuo Abe) is told by his dad (Fumio Watanabe) that he can't go home to his grandparents' place, after which he decides otherwise, in Nagisa Oshima's Boy, 1969.

We are first introduced to the principal Toshio (Tetsuo Abe) and his fantasies, then to his father (Fumio Watanabe) and step-mother (Akiko Koyama) who, for now, seem like normal decent citizens, opening director Nagisa Oshima's acclaimed 1969 feature Boy.

Having learned that the family makes its living by staging phony traffic accidents, we watch as the step-mother (Akiko Koyama) begins training Toshio (Tetsuo Abe) to take the leading role, his Dad (Fumio Watanabe), plotting behind her back, in Nagisa Oshima's Boy, 1969.
