Synopsis
Sleeping Forest (眠りの森, 2014) is a Japanese TV mystery film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Hiroyasu Doi. A man is found dead inside a ballet company's offices. The only suspect is a dancer who claims she was defending herself from an intruder — but her account keeps fraying at the edges.
Detective Kaga Kyoichiro, played by Hiroshi Abe, is the kind of investigator who notices what doesn't fit. Before he can close the first case, the company director dies of poisoning. Two deaths, a world of professional ballet, and a cast that includes Satomi Ishihara and Yuki Nakama alongside Abe.
Adapted from Keigo Higashino's novel, the film earns its hundred-minute runtime through patient scene-building rather than plot acceleration — ballet as a closed system of hierarchies, debts, and silence rather than mere atmosphere. Stream Sleeping Forest (2014) online on iFILM.
