Jaquette Typhoon Club

IN MOVIE THEATERS JULY 3 2024

 

A powerful wind blows across a small town near Tokyo. As high school students are on their way to school, a typhoon approaches. Ignoring the order to evacuate, a few students decide to confine themselves to the school. The result is a cruel, sassy, dance-filled interlude that opens and closes on a summer's night.
