Hikikomori





The hikikomori are teenagers and young adults who are overwhelmed by the pressure that Japanese society places upon them. Therefore, these individuals withdraw themselves from society, sometimes spending several months and even years without leaving their houses. This is a short documentary directed by Francesco Jodice and Kal Karman that explores in depth the hikikomori phenomenon in Japan.
