Japan

Coolly compelling and disturbingly plausible, Neo Sora's debut feature is a dystopian teen drama where surveillance, friendship, and political truth collide in near-future Tokyo.

The all-consuming dedication of the Japanese Kabuki artist gets its due in an ornate, decades-spanning spectacular of passion and pain that charts the journey of two young trainees.

A lonely, down and out American actor living in Tokyo starts working for a Japanese "rental family" company to play various stand-in roles in other people's lives. Along the way, he discovers unexpected joys within his built-in family.
