The Tokyo Night Sky Is Always the Densest Shade of Blue

Can loneliness be experienced together?

2017108 min6.8 / 10

A tender, melancholic portrait of two isolated souls finding fleeting connection amid the urban loneliness of Tokyo, exploring whether shared vulnerability can bridge solitude.

Mika works as a nurse by day; by night she entertains covetous men at a girls' bar. Shinji is blind in one eye and ekes out a living as a construction worker. Young and grown-up at the same time, they both lead a lonely existence, but somehow their paths keep miraculously crossing under the Tokyo sky.
