It's 1990, and the child, Manit, has just witnessed the killing of his parents by corrupt cops. Shot at point-blank range, Manit survives, but with a bullet in his skull that prevents him from experiencing emotion.

Hard Romanticker / Hâdo romanchikkâ (2011)
Drama
Based on director Gu Su-yeon's semi-autobiographical novel, Hard Romanticker is a spectacularly violent gangster movie that delivers its story with equal amounts of style and carnage. Dripping James Dean-like cool, bleach blond Gu (Shôta Matsuda) is a young, cocky Korean-Japanese hoodlum living in Japan. When someone "accidentally" kills the grandmother of a ruthless rival thug, Gu soon finds himself on the receiving end as he becomes the target for bloody, even deadly, revenge. And it doesn't help that the police are on his tail as well. What's a snarly, cigarette-puffing thug to do? With tons of ultra-violence, rampaging youths and nihilistic retribution, Hard Romanticker is a sort of a modern-day A Clockwork Orange – yakuza style!
Starring: Shôta Matsuda, Kento Nagayama, Tokio Emoto, Sei Ashina, Shidô Nakamura
