Set in a dystopian near-future Tokyo, Neo Sora’s striking debut feature explores a group of teenagers rebelling against societal expectations.

The film offers a vivid coming-of-age portrait, following best friends Yuta and Kou as they confront a world where AI surveillance is tightening under the yoke of oppressive authoritarianism.

Infused with the raw energy and pulsing with a techno soundtrack, Happyend is a hopeful, youthful vision of resistance and joy in the face of control.
