Kafka is straight while Daniel happens to be gay. The young men fall in love, believing that their love can bridge anything, despite their difference in sexuality and Kafka's drug-taking. Daniel does not regret his love for Kafka, who tries to love him back against his nature. But a flashback memory from Kafka's past makes it difficult for their relationship to work. It turns out that their addiction to love proves more fatal than the drugs they use to explore the boundaries of their friendship. (Source: Wikipedia) Edit Translation

Reviews
Dealing with trauma is hard. Using drugs as an escape only makes it worse. We aren't all fortunate to have good support during the hard times. But, we all are trying to live while we can. However, for some, it might no longer be about living but surviving.
Don't watch it expecting a love story. The movie is about pain, suffering, and trying to survive those sh*t. It's a hard-to-watch movie--dealing with things we don't understand always is. If you aren't up for a good challenge, then skip.

STORY:
The story's main focused I guessed was to discuss or to show how addicting AMPHETAMINE is. The male lead got addicted to it to the point where he commited suicide. He can't even differentiate what's real from an illusion. This also shows that addiction cannot be easily stop. It's a process so my suggestion is, Don't even think of trying it. I felt pity on the male lead though. Something terrible happened to him which affected his way of living. I think one of the great lesson this film could teach us is to respect every person and to treat them as a human for that is what they deserved.
ACTING/CAST:
The acting was quite good. It's typical for me to see the male leads naked because I already saw them somewhere naked as well. That needs a strong stamina though.
MUSIC:
I did not put enough attention to the music. Most of the music were instrumental so it would just pass.
OVERALL:
This is quite a good movie. If you are aware of the director you would understand why this story goes like that. There are similar films as well dericted by him where he killed his leads. By the way if you are quite a sensitive person, just let me give you a warning. This film contains issues which were considered as taboo and this films contains scene were frontal view of a naked man was shown so if you don't want to see those scenes you have an option to not to watch it.
