Synopsis

How will the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 be remembered by people in the future? Outside the grounds of the Olympic Stadium, Rika (IMAGAWA Ucyu), a woman from the future, meets a mysterious man named Shin (MOROZUMI So) and discovers he is from another future. What are their true purposes?

Using a unique time-slip concept that draws upon our media-driven age, memories of the momentous occasion of the games’ opening ceremony are explored by these two characters as they make new, sweet memories. Out of TOKYO 202x is an exhilarating moment of discovery, love, and hope filmed during the darkness of the Covid-19 pandemic. The backdrop and visual tricks give a lively atmosphere and the sound design matches it so we really get a sense of summer of spectacle.
