Go (Japan, 2001)

Third-generation Korean, Sugihara, is a student at a Japanese high school after graduating from a North Korean junior high school in Japan. Sugihara’s school days are filled with fights that always result in his victory; he and his delinquent peers fill the rest of their time with all kinds of mischief. One day, Sugihara attends the birthday party of one of his friends and meets a mysterious Japanese girl. He takes her out on a couple of dates and they gradually become intimate

Tension rise high between the Koreans and the Japanese, and this film puts a high school student right in the middle of it. On one hand it's a love story with a turbulent high school setting, on the other hand, it's a tale about how a young man's heritage makes him the outcast of his school. Worth your while.

Genre: Drama
