Iz Tokio

This film is a short story about a former rescue worker who has returned to Tokyo—a man who is successful in his everyday life. After hearing about another earthquake in Japan, he drops everything and goes there to help. He is flying back home on an almost empty plane, as many regular flights have been canceled and those still operating do not sell out. He is accompanied by an elderly Japanese man he had just saved, who is now alone in the world after losing his family. The two men have formed a connection, perhaps because the main character is also lonely. Also on the plane are those who did not survive the disaster. As the characters travel, their past moves through space—their memories, their world. A world that is no less, but perhaps even more important to them than reality.
