Adrift In Tokyo (Japan, 2007)

Leading a lazy life, Fumiya has been a student for 8 years and owes money to loan sharks. One day, a man named Fukuhara comes to collect the loan, which Fumiya cannot pay. So Fukuhara makes a proposition: He will cancel the debt as long as Fumiya agrees to walk with him across Tokyo to the police station of Kasumigaseki, where he intends to turn himself for a crime he deeply regrets. Not having much choice, Fumiya accepts the deal, and they start walking through the city of Tokyo.

A charming and funny movie with an interesting idea: just to keep on walking. On their stroll they encounter some folks that are just as quirky as Fumiya's hairstyle. Down-to-earth and with just the right amount of goofiness, this is a walk you should take. 

Genre: Drama
