      Like Watching a flower open.
      I happened onto this movie by chance(they aired it at 10pm on TV where I am), but after having seen it, I feel that little bit wiser.

      The story follows Yuichiro Ogiwara(Played by Ryo Kase of Honey & Clover(live action) fame), a philosophy student living alone but after some ramifications he ends up living with his mother and younger brother. The Story takes place both in the past and present, Yuichiro is having troubles living at home, its brings back bad memories, so he seeks refuge in self mutilation and pain, and to assist him he decides to see a dominatrix recommended to him by a female friend.

      Antena is about people, because it is very much a movie on philosophy, very moving movie, at times it seemed forced, and there were a few unnecessary scenes, or perhaps I didn't quite understand the significances of it.

      I really don't wanna give to much away, the story is very delicately woven, and believe me, its to easy to play the guessing game in this movie but play all you want it will probably not be quite what you expected, all I have to say is, peel the damn orange before you try and eat the fruit.
