New Showbiz Analysis

The film is a transgressive psychological drama that finds its strength in challenging social hierarchies. By focusing on a group of girls targeting a female teacher's pregnancy, it rejects traditional views of maternal authority and nurturing female roles. However, the film is limited by its narrow demographic scope, operating within a homogeneous Japanese social setting with little racial or LGBTQ+ diversity. Its impact comes from its radical stance against institutional norms, using social transgression as a tool for character empowerment.

Official Synopsis

The mini budget psycho drama, somewhat based on true story, follows a bunch of adorable high school girls whose casual pastime includes throwing small animals in the air – and not catching them on the way down. The leader of the sweethearts is Mizuki (Kaori Kobayashi), who loses whatever traces of sense she might have possessed when her teacher turns up knocked up! The girls form a “miscarriage club” to kill the unborn baby in order to show the insolent adult who calls the shots.
