Synopsis:

Three of world cinema's great visionaries: Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind), Leos Carax (The Lovers On The Bridge), and Bong Joon-ho (The Host) each direct a segment of this surreal triptych set in the ultra-modern metropolis of Tokyo, Japan. In the tradition of such films as New York Stories, Night On Earth, Paris Je T'Aime and its forthcoming sequel New York Je T'aime, Tokyo! addresses the timeless question of whether we shape cities, or if cities shape us in the process revealing the rich humanity at the heart of modern urban life.

Tokyo is a city of transitions in three short films. A young woman who finds her life useless experiences a metamorphosis. A disheveled Caucasian emerges from a manhole to face arrest, trial, and execution; he calls himself 'Merde' and speaks a language only his look-alike attorney understands. Is he human? A recluse experiences human contact when a pizza-delivery girl faints at his door during an earthquake. He conquers fear to seek her out. A chair, a corpse, a hermit: sources of urban connection?

A cinematic triptych of three Tokyo-set stories.
