The premise of Almost Transparent Blue without spoilers.
In the mid‑1970s, a tight circle of friends lives in a Japanese town, near an American air‑force base, their existence revolving around sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll. The near‑plotless narrative stitches a stark, image‑rich voyage through the relentless monotony of drug‑induced hallucinations, violent outbursts, overdoses, suicide and raw grim group sex.
