A meditative documentary essay on the gap between cinematic memory and lived reality, exploring Tokyo through the lens of Ozu's films while grappling with cultural displacement and temporal loss.

German director Wim Wenders tries to explore the Tokyo that was depicted in the films of Yasujiro Ozu and finds a very different city.
