What is One Night in Tokyo about?
One Night in Tokyo is a drama that unfolds in one fateful night in the hustling and bustling megapolis of Japan. Reza Emamiyeh portrays Sam, who travels from New York to Tokyo to see his girlfriend Becca, who is an expat. However, as soon as he gets to her flat, they break up.
He decides to end his trip early and head back to America the following day while he is out on the streets of Tokyo by himself. He finds an unexpected buddy in Tokiko Kitagawa's Ayaka, who grudgingly takes him out with her pals while he is stuck for the night awaiting his next flight. Despite their communication difficulties, they are compelled to rely on one another as a shocking betrayal abruptly ends their worlds.
As they navigate Tokyo's streets together, they slowly overcome barriers to understand one another and heal through conversations and shared trauma.
Here's the official synopsis of the film.
"Betrayal spawns an unexpected night through the streets of Tokyo for two strangers left questioning the meaning of love."
The film takes inspiration from films such as the Before Trilogy, In the Mood for Love, and Lost in Translation to tell a heartfelt story of heartbreak and acceptance. As Sam and Akaya break down the language barrier to understand each other, they also break down their own walls to understand themselves.
