Drama

An old man and a young woman meet in Tokyo. She knows nothing about him, he thinks he knows her. He welcomes her into his home, she offers him her body. But the web that is woven between them in the space of twenty four hours bears no relation to the circumstances of their encounter.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative urban drama that feels like a fleeting, melancholic encounter. It’s a tender, yet somber look at two souls finding unexpected intimacy amidst the transient nature of city life.
