Description
When Tomoko finds some messages for a Mr. Smith on a lost mobile phone, she finds herself on an "Alice in Wonderland" journey through Tokyo's boulevards and back alleys. From the tyranny of symmetry in soaring office blocks to buildings that look like spaceships, this creative documentary reveals the city's soul. And as Tomoko watches the sun rising over buildings ranging from imperial to space-age styling, from the height of function to the height of whimsy, the spirit of the city - encompassing past, present, and future - comes alive. This breathtaking documentary was created by Bafta-award-winning director, Iain Overton.
