Install takes... shall we say... a unique look at a girl's budding sexuality. Based on Risa Wataya’s 2001 coming of age novel "Install" the film follows the life of Asako (Aya Ueto), a girl who's not only trying to cement her own personal identity, but who is also dealing with some tragic loses at school. In order to find her way Asako begins to play hooky and eventually crosses paths with her 10-year-old neighbour Aoki (Ryunosuke Kamiki) who takes a broken home PC off Asako's hands for a very unorthodox reason. It runs out that Aoki has taken over an online sex chat room for a internet friend who has just had a baby, but he needs a second pair of hands to make sure the site runs smoothly. He turns to Asako who very quickly comes face to face with her burgeoning sexuality while chatting with toal strangers online. See what I mean about "Install" never getting a North American release? Yes, the film is a minefield of ethical and moral issues, but it never takes the path that one would think it would. There's no predatory pedophiles, no abuse and no cautionary finger-wagging. It sounds hard to believe but "Install" is a smart and often very funny look at one young woman's transition from the girlhood to the complexity, grief and possibilities of adulthood.
