The Floating World (90') A continuation of the short film of the same name, this project is a deep dive into the world of Kabukicho, Tokyo's red-light district. This area of the city acts like a wishing well, placing anything you desire magically within reach: love, acceptance, an escape... But in this world of mirages nobody can tell truth from fantasy.
