For those who don't know, 100 Meters tells the story of the relationship between two runners. There is Togashi, a young man who was once unbeatable on the 100-meter track, and Komiya, a transfer student with a steely determination but still weak technique.

Togashi eventually decides to train Komiya. Year after year, fate brings them back together as rivals on the same track, forcing both to realize that running is not just about speed, but about the courage to overcome oneself.

The film is predicted to attract even more attention, especially since it will soon be released in Indonesia on November 7, 2025!
