"Villian (Akunin)" trailer - in UK Cinemas Friday 19th August 2011 - Starring: Eri Fukatsu, Satoshi Tsumabuki, Akira Emoto, Kirin Kiki, Hikari Mitsushima

Out in UK cinemas August 19th, 2011 from Third Window Films (http://www.thirdwindowfilms.com)

Yuichi (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is a construction worker who's lived his entire life in a dreary fishing village. With no girlfriend or friends, he spends his days working and looking after his grandparents, with no enjoyment in life other than his car. Meanwhile, Mitsuyo (Eri Fukatsu) also lives a monotonous life pacing between the men's clothing store where she works and the apartment where she lives with her sister.

When the two lonely souls meet using an online dating site, they immediately fall in love with each other. But there's a secret Yuichi had been keeping from Mitsuyo: he's the one who killed the woman whose murder had been in the news for days.

Though Yuichi tries to turn himself in, Mitsuyo stops him. Having discovered the joy of loving someone for the first time in their lives, the desperate lovers go on the run. They arrive at a lighthouse, where they find the time and place to share a blissful moment together. But their getaway begins to ensnare the lives of families of both the killer and the victim.

Why did Yuichi kill the woman?
Why did Mitsuyo love a killer?
What fate awaits the families who were torn apart?

As the desperate characters hit rock bottom and struggle between good and evil, a new question emerges:

Who is the true "villain" here?
