The story

What Is FAKE About?

The premise of FAKE without spoilers.

Born in Hiroshima to atomic bomb survivors, Mamoru Samuragochi rose to fame as a self-taught classical composer, hailed as the “Japanese Beethoven.” His career took a dramatic turn before the 2014 Winter Olympics when Takashi Niigaki, a university lecturer, claimed to be Samuragochi's ghostwriter for 18 years, alleging the composer couldn's notate music and could hear normally. As Samuragochi’s recordings were withdrawn and performances were cancelled, Niigaki gained media attention. Filmmaker Tatsuya Mori interviews Samuragochi, who is ready to share his perspective on the controversy, exploring themes of media deception and the complexities of ability and disability.
