Synopsis

In Keiho, a captivating fusion of courtroom drama and psychological thriller, Shibata, a theatre actor accused of a heinous double murder, presents split personality symptoms during his trial. A psychiatrist diagnoses him with schizophrenia, while his assistant, Kafka, harbours doubts about this assessment. As the narrative unfolds, suspicions and uncertainties surround Shibata’s mental state, adding layers of intrigue to the gripping storyline. Through the lens of this enigmatic character and the complexities of his psyche, Keiho delves deep into the analysis of pathology and violence, challenging perceptions of sanity and guilt within the confines of the legal system.
