The Story of 100 Meters
The film follows Togashi, a naturally gifted track star who effortlessly wins 100-meter races as a child. In sixth grade, he encounters Komiya, a transfer student brimming with determination but lacking technique. Togashi’s guidance instills in Komiya a new purpose: to win at all costs. Years later, Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track, where their true selves are revealed in a story exploring obsession and passion.
