The detective story has seen lots of diverse approaches over the years. Ever since authors such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Raymond Chandler have perfected the formula, it seems as if new stories aim to bend the rules, while also maintaining the view on the world and its society, which has always been one of the most interesting parts of the genre. Consequently, as the concept of truth becomes more fragmented and even chaotic in modern times, these stories reflect this development. Atsuro Shimoyashiro's second feature “Lonesome Vacation” relies heavily on the conventions of the genre, while bending them at the same time, telling a quite meaningful tale about the significance of proof and the truth for a person's life and identity.
