Film description

A debt collector offers a penniless student a chance to pay off his gambling debts if he accompanies him on a trip around Tokyo. The characters traverse the metropolis, wandering through suburban districts, and visiting traditional craft shops and dying pubs hidden from the tourists. Meeting the increasingly unique people of Tokyo along the way and hearing their fascinating stories, they discover the Tokyo landscape anew.

"Adrift in Tokyo" is a road movie moving at a walking pace, inviting us to discover the world of Tokyo's shitamachi – suburban districts living in their rhythm, full of small shops and bars that have been there forever, whose local character is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Tokyo is a metropolis of coincidences that Satoshi Miki uses to compose a soothing vision of everyday life and create a portrait of a city that thrives on the eccentricities of its most loyal residents. European cities have their monuments, but Tokyo has its stories – Satoshi Miki's film is a chance to get to know them.
