Seijin shiki

Director / Cinematographer Mathieu Brelière


Seijin shiki / Coming of Age Day (成人の日, Seijin no Hi) is a Japanese holiday held annually on the second Monday of January. It is held in order to congratulate and encourage all those who have reached or will reach the age of maturity (20 years old) between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current year, and to help them realise that they have become adults. Festivities include coming of age ceremonies (成人式, seijin-shiki) held at local and prefectural offices, as well as after-parties among family and friends.

The sunken city of Baia is a former notorious resort for Roman aristocracy, famous for its decadent ways, corruption and scandals towards the end of the Roman Republic. It now lies submerged twenty meters bellow the surface of water, atop a collapsed caldera in the gulf of Pozzuoli.
