Confessions begins by showing the atmosphere in a junior high school classroom, where students in the class drink milk boxes as part of a government program to campaign for school drinking milk activities. The students were still engrossed in their own activities and did not seem to care about the presence of the teacher, who was their homeroom teacher named Yuko. On the other hand, with a cold expression, she revealed to her students that she would resign as a teacher at the school. The atmosphere in the classroom turned silent as soon as Yuko expressed her desire to resign. Even though the students seemed to ignore her decision, she still told them the reason she decided to withdraw from school.
Yuko says she is a single mother who has to raise her child alone because her boyfriend is suffering from HIV AIDS.
She decides not to marry him because she doesn’t want herself and her child to be ostracized by society. Because Yuko has to work all day to provide for herself and her daughter, Manami, she leaves her child with someone named Takinaka, who lives near the school. Still, with an expressionless face and cold tone of voice, Yuko revealed that some time ago, Manami was found drowned in the school swimming pool. After that, she told of a murder case committed by a child the same age as her students.
The girl killed her parents by poisoning their dinner with cyanide. The murder case was called Lunacy Murder. Yuko then reveals that she discovered some surprising facts behind the deadly incident that killed her only daughter. She firmly believes that the cause of her child’s death was not because she slipped and fell in the school swimming pool but was killed by her own student. She mentioned that the murder of her daughter was done by two people, and she already knew the identities of the two students who were the perpetrators of Manami’s murder.
Even though Yuko only mentions the names of her daughter’s killers with aliases, namely Student A and Student B, she doesn’t hesitate to tell all her students about the characteristics of the killers. Student A is a smart student at school and has no problems. Some rumors say that Student A often tortured cats and dogs with his inventions when he was in elementary school. One day, Student A visits Yuko to show him the latest innovation, an anti-theft wallet. The results of his creation succeeded in delivering him as a winner in a science competition at the junior high school level.
Of course, all the students in Yuko’s class know the identity of Student A, their classmate named Shuya. Casually, Shuya said that his motive for the murder was to get people to pay attention to him. He said that he was disappointed because his victory in a science competition some time ago did not get public attention because everyone’s attention was being focused on the Lunacy Murder case, which caused a stir among the public and the media crew because it was carried out by a teenager who was the same age as himself. Therefore, Shuya said that he had planned to kill Manami so that he would get the attention of the public.
On the other hand, Student B was a quiet child and had no friends.
One day, Student B gets into a fight that requires him to deal with the local police. Because of this, the school punished him for cleaning the swimming pool for two weeks. Of course, all of the students could guess the identity of Student B with the characteristics mentioned by Yuko, who was none other than their classmate Naoki.
Yuko then said that Shuya and Naoki had arranged a plan to hurt someone with Shuya’s anti-theft wallet that had increased power. Naoki, who is still annoyed with Yuko for not coming to help when he gets into trouble and has to deal with the police, then he suggests that Shuya test his homeroom tool.
But Shuya had already shown his work to Yuko, so the two of them agreed to test the anti-theft wallet on Manami, Yuko’s daughter. With an innocent face, Shuya met Manami, who was playing near the pool then. He presented a small bag with a cute picture to her. However, when she was about to unzip the bag, suddenly she was electrocuted and died. Naoki saw the incident with his own eyes, then panicked and scared because Shuya had actually killed someone.
Even though he had thought that Shuya was only joking when he said he wanted to hurt someone. Shuya told Naoki that he would tell everyone that Naoki had killed Manami. Naoki, who became increasingly frightened, then took a desperate act of throwing Manami’s body into the swimming pool so that people thought she died because she slipped and fell into the pool and drowned. After Yuko recounted the chronology of her daughter’s murder by the two students, she revealed the results of her investigation into the horrific incident.
It turned out that the electric power in the wallet that Shuya had given to Manami wasn’t strong enough to kill someone.
Manami was probably just in shock and fainted from the electric shock. She indeed died by drowning. Ironically, Shuya, who had originally intended to kill someone to seek public attention, failed miserably. Meanwhile, Naoki, who intended to kill, accidentally did something that killed Manami. Because Shuya and Naoki are still under the legal age, they cannot be punished for their crimes according to Japan’s child protection laws.
As the mother of Manami, the victim of the murder, Yuko felt it was very unfair.
But on the other hand, as a teacher of Shuya and Naoki, she believes that she must teach them a lesson so that both of them regret and correct their mistakes. Yuko then reveals that she injected Manami’s father’s HIV-AIDS-contaminated blood into their milk cartons which she claims killed Manami. All the students became panicked and scared. Long story short, spring break has ended, and a new school year has begun.
Yuko, who has resigned, is now replaced by a new teacher named Werther. Shuya continued to attend school as usual without feeling the slightest guilt even though he had killed the only daughter of his former homeroom teacher.
Because of this, he was often ridiculed and bullied by his friends at school. Meanwhile, Naoki, who is very depressed after finding out that he is infected with the dangerous virus HIV AIDS, chooses to isolate himself from the outside world, even his mother. Werther then asked Mizuki, the class president, to accompany him to Naoki’s house and persuade him to go to school again.
Arriving at Naoki’s house, Werther met Naoki’s mother, Mrs. Shimomura. After making small talk, Werther and Mizuki said goodbye, and Mrs. Shimomura said she would try to persuade Naoki to return to school.
However, when she tried to convince her child, Naoki even got angry, making her think that he hated her because he did not allow her to touch him and his clothes.
One day, Mrs. Shimomura secretly entered Naoki’s room to check his condition. With great tenderness, she cleaned his body and cut his hair while he was sleeping. However, this only made him even angrier. Mrs.
Shimomura felt increasingly depressed and afraid to see her son’s condition. On the other hand, Shuya’s bullying is getting more intense. An anonymous text message was circulating at the school about awarding points every time the students bullied him.
Suddenly, this made his friends even more excited to bully him. One day, Werther said that he knew Shuya was the victim of bullying by his classmates through a piece of paper that one of the students tucked into his homework book.
The homeroom teacher then lectured and asked his students to stop bullying Shuya. However, the students didn’t seem to be paying attention because they were increasingly aggressively bullying Shuya.
The students blamed Mizuki as a student who complained to their homeroom teacher about the bullying they did to Shuya because she got the lowest points for bullying him. Because of this, Mizuki becomes the target of bullying throughout the class and is forced to kiss Shuya so that she is infected with the HIV AIDS virus. In the evening, Shuya asked Mizuki to come to meet him somewhere.
He then showed her a certificate from the hospital showing that he was not infected with HIV AIDS. However, the class president seemed to have expected this because she was sure Yuko would not actually do that to her students.
Since the bullying incident they experienced together, their relationship became closer, and they decided to date. However, as time goes by, their classmates find out about the love affair that exists between Shuya and Mizuki. As a result, Mizuki gets bullied even more for dating a murderer.
Because he was annoyed that his friends always bullied and cornered him and Mizuki, Shuya then kissed several students and threatened that he would kiss all his friends so that they all contracted the HIV AIDS virus if they still bothered them.
Even though it’s actually just an empty threat because Shuya doesn’t have HIV AIDS. Mizuki then reveals to him that she is the perpetrator of the Lunacy Murder case that Yuko had told about. Meanwhile, Mrs. Shimomura is getting increasingly depressed with Naoki’s behavior, which is getting increasingly closed.
On the other hand, she is confused and annoyed because Werther and Mizuki often come and ask her about Naoki’s condition. One day, Naoki runs away from home and injures himself. Not only that, he even intentionally spilled his blood into every corner of a mini-market so that everyone would be infected with the HIV AIDS virus. Mrs. Shimomura then picked him up and brought her son home.
Arriving at home, Naoki reveals to his mother that he has contracted the HIV AIDS virus after Yuko injects the blood of Manami’s father, who has the disease, into his milk.
Mrs. Shimomura is surprised to hear her son’s confession, and she thinks Yuko did this on purpose because she wanted to take revenge on Naoki and Shuya for killing her daughter. Even though, in his mother’s view, he is just a victim of Shuya’s incitement. But Naoki revealed an astonishing fact.
It turned out that when he was about to throw Manami’s body into the swimming pool, she realized and opened her eyes. But he threw her into the pool anyway. So, he deliberately took Manami’s life away. Mrs. Shimomura was even more devastated after knowing her son was a cold-blooded killer.
In her downturn, she then decided to end his life by killing him. What happens is the contrary. Turned out she was killed by her own son. It turns out that Naoki’s rough treatment of his mother all this time was to protect her from contracting the HIV AIDS he suffered.
Naoki deliberately kept himself hidden and forbade his mother to touch the things he used because he wanted to protect his mother.
But he didn’t think that after all the things he had done to prevent his mother from getting a deadly disease, she actually wanted to take him after hearing his confession. He was angry and then chose to kill his own mother. The story continues, and now Shuya is telling his life story. Since childhood, he was educated very hard by his mother to study electronics. When he was a teenager, his mother’s dream is wanted to become a great scientist in the electronics field.
However, she had to bury her dream deeply when she married and had a child. Shuya s mother is even more obsessed with realizing her dreams by demanding Shuya to study electronics even harder. Even she did not hesitate to beat him if he failed. Until one day, she decided to leave him and her husband to pursue her dream of becoming a great scientist.
One day, Shuya made a video confessing that he had assembled a bomb and placed it in the school hall.
He plans to detonate the bomb when he, the smartest kid in school, delivers a short speech during the graduation ceremony. The bomb is connected and will be activated by his cellphone. After that, Shuya said that since his father and mother divorced, his father remarried and had a child with his new wife. Since then, he no longer gets the love and attention of his father, so he again misses his mother figure. Shuya then made a website on the internet and uploaded some of his creations to the website.
After that, he emailed the link to the site to his mother, hoping that she would pay attention to him. But the reality did not match his expectations. There has been no reply to emails from his mother, and no one has visited his site.
Feeling annoyed and disappointed, Shuya tortured and killed the animals with his creation and uploaded his sadistic act to his website. Unexpectedly, the upload about his sadistic act got the public’s attention.
His anti-theft wallet, which won a science competition, was one of Shuya’s attempts to get his mother’s attention. However, the news of his victory did not get the public’s attention because, at the same time, the Lunacy Murder case by Mizuki had become a trending topic that everyone was talking about. Since then, Shuya decided to follow in the footsteps of Mizuki, who became a murderer, so that his mother would pay attention to him. However, Shuya’s plan did not go according to his wishes because the police stated that the cause of Manami’s death was an accident, not because someone was killed. He was even more upset after the police stopped the investigation and determined Manami’s death as an accident.
Shuya was overjoyed after Yuko said that she had injected Manami’s father’s blood contaminated with the HIV AIDS virus into his and Naoki’s milk. He thought his mother would come to see him after finding out he had a terminal illness. But it turns out that it was just Yuko’s bluff, and he was not proven to have HIV AIDS. After hearing Mizuki’s confession that she was the perpetrator of the Lunacy Murder case, which had killed her parents with cyanide, Shuya became very angry and hated her because she had captured the public’s attention that should have been directed at him, who won the science competition. Mizuki retaliated by cornering him, who was too obsessed with the figure of his mother.
Mizuki said that Shuya was just a spoiled and stupid child for doing all these things to get his mother’s attention.
She said that he never dared to meet his mother because he was too cowardly and afraid that his mother would hate him and no longer recognize him as a child. Shuya became very angry. He then killed Mizuki and mutilated her body. The scene switches to a flashback of Mizuki meeting Yuko at a restaurant.
There, Yuko reveals that she was the one who suggested to Werther to keep visiting Naoki’s house to check on his condition. Werther, still innocent, thought it was a form of Yuko’s concern for her students. However, her real reason was to suppress Naoki and his mother’s psychological side to the lowest point so they would feel worse about his situation. Not only that, but Yuko revealed that she was the one who suggested to Werther that he pretended to know about Shuya’s bullying through a piece of paper tucked into his homework book. Werther again thought that it was Yuko’s doing to stop the bullying experienced by Shuya.
In fact, Yuko did this on purpose to make Shuya more bullied by his friends. Everything that happened to Shuya and Naoki after she revealed their crimes in front of the class was part of her revenge plan because they both killed her only daughter. Shuya’s video recording of his plan to detonate a bomb in the school hall during the graduation ceremony apparently has been known to Yuko. Long story short, Shuya activated the bomb during the graduation ceremony through his cellphone.
But when he finished delivering his speech and pressed the button on his cell phone several times, the bomb still didn’t explode.
After that, he got a call from Yuko, who said he knew about his plan to detonate a bombing at his school during the graduation ceremony. On the other hand, Yuko, who investigated Shuya, finally discovers his weakness is his mother. Therefore, Yuko deliberately moved the bomb to Shuya’s mother’s office, and when he pressed the button to detonate the bomb, Shuya killed his mother with a homemade bomb. Hearing this, Shuya immediately screamed and cried hysterically because he was so frustrated that the bomb he had created had killed his mother, whom he loved so much. He was increasingly feeling depressed because his mother’s death was caused himself.
During his slump, Yuko came to Shuya and said it was her revenge because he had killed Manami, her only daughter. She emphasized that she would never let him die. Yuko stated that the tragedy that Shuya experienced this time was only the beginning of the suffering he would experience for the rest of his life. The film ends. The moral that can be learned from this movie is to pay attention to our children, especially teenagers.
Because they are in a psychologically vulnerable condition and are looking for identity and need recognition from those around them. .
