“Traces of Sin” is director Kei Ishikawa’s first narrative feature film. It is based on a detective novel by Tokuro Nukui. The story follows crime journalist Tanaka’s (Satoshi Tsumabuki) reinvestigation of a murder of an upper-middle class family which happened a year ago. The police never found the murderer. However, during Tanaka’s investigation, some new clues have emerged and they may have showed who the real murderer is. At the meantime, Tanaka has to take care of his traumatized sister who is in jail, because of her negligence of her child.
While the film follows the investigation of the journalist, “Traces of Sin” doe snot focus on finding who the real murderer is. Instead, as the director has pointed out in one interview, the film wants to show that everyone can commit sins in their lives. No one is perfect, but no one is totally evil either.
