Токио. Станция Уэно

Kazu was born in 1933, the same year as the emperor, and throughout his life, thanks to a series of coincidences, he was connected to the imperial family and the park near Ueno station. Here, Kazu's life in Tokyo began... as a laborer on the eve of the 1964 Olympic Games, and here he ended his days, shocked by the 2011 tsunami and angered by the announcement of the 2020 Olympic Games, living in a tent in a homeless village. Now, the restless spirit of Kazu helplessly roams Ueno Park. Listening to the daily bustle of Tokyo, he recalls his cherished stories… How did Kazu's life turn into a phantom existence? And why were moments of beauty and grace simply out of reach for him? A surreal and destructive, yet at the same time touching and infinitely poetic story about life and death, about modern Japan and about those who must disappear for a time, maybe even forever…
