Delinquent runaway Taira (Yuya Yagira) leaves his hometown for the city, where he aimlessly roams the streets picking fights with random bystanders. Rallied on by a high schooler, Taira's street-side scuffles soon turn into a sinister game, becoming even more mindless and indiscriminate, and the pair soon leave behind a trail of blood and mass confusion.

A brutal and unflinching drama depicting the unstoppable desires and impulses of lost young people intoxicated by violence, Destruction Babies is an exciting, unpredictable film that scooped the award for Best Emerging Director at Locarno.
