Over the Town

Arakawa Ao inhabits a cozy, self-contained existence in Tokyo's Shimokitazawa neighborhood, working at a vintage clothing shop. His world is pleasantly small, defined by the shop's racks, occasional live music, and the familiar counter of his regular bar. This comfortable bubble is punctured by an unusual request to appear in an independent film, a proposition that nudges him beyond his carefully curated borders and into an unfamiliar creative process.
