Saki has a crush on her narcissistic classmate Tomoya. Despite the warnings of her best friend, she can’t curb her desire for him, which ultimately causes the situation to escalate. Kohei NAKAYAMA’s film about the pain of adolescence was subtitled by students of the University of Düsseldorf as part of the Global Universities Subtitling Project. DEEP TASTES is accompanied by two further short films with very special twists.

Synopsis REMEMBER!: Suzuki is working at a convenience store late at night. A robber enters the store and recognizes him. It turns out the robber is Suzuki’s old classmate Sato. But Suzuki can’t remember him.
