    • Synopsis
    • In a world where people belong to either the higher or lower classes, the
      protagonist without a name is a lower-class citizen who suffers from chronic
      hallucinations due to a motorcycle accident. He has lost his job on top of
      that and copes by drinking too much at various bars. At one of the places
      he stumbles upon, a dancehall called "The Yellow Flashback," he drinks
      some bootleg liquor made from unknown ingredients, based on a recipe by
      a retired boxer named Luginsky. He becomes hooked on this bootleg,
      which exacerbates his chronic hallucinations and increasingly blurs the line
      between reality and illusion, causing him to experience irrational turn of events repeatedly.
