5-Meter Radius
★ 7.8 · 2021 · 44m · Drama
The uneasy, little snags in life. Why am I alone in parenting? Why is this strange man scolding me? They are personal, perhaps mundane, and never newsworthy. But one outlet for the nameless disquiet that exist within a "five-meter radius" is a weekly women's magazine. A young editor and an unorthodox veteran journalist cover every topic with an empathetic stance. A look at modern society through the small but real incongruities we all feel close to home.
