Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakanai: The Clouds Gather

Directed by Kaori Makita

Yashiro is the president of the Shinseikai Enterprise. He leads a double life as a deviant and a masochist. Doumeki Chikara comes to work as a bodyguard for Yashiro. They begin an affair of two men with songs in their hearts.
Twittering Birds Never Fly: The Clouds Gather is a dark, beautifully animated Japanese drama about power, trauma and desire within the yakuza world. Its emotional material is far heavier than the typical romance, but the restrained character work and atmosphere give the film considerable depth.
