The essence of these films is deeply similar. They showcase the difficulty and desperation of financial struggle, contrasted by the hope of found family and deep human connection. Both depict people turning to crime out of desperation, with varying motivations, but it brings a deeper sense of humanity when the characters themselves don’t wilfully desire to make money through crime, but choose it as a last resort.
While both films have their heavy moments, Night Flower is not as dark as Orokamono no Mibun (Baka’s Identity). Night Flower’s plot is female-centred while Orokamono no Mibun’s plot is male-centred.
