Director: Lars Ostmann - 2020 - 96 Min.
Life is movement - moving and being moved. The highest concentration of movement is the city. A person in Tokyo discovers twelve paths with a different sense of time. He begins to question his everyday moves. What makes us come alive? Will we go on the same way?
Inspired by Buddhist texts and Thoreau, Hegel, Heidegger and Rilke, this film invites to see our ever-moving present with fresh eyes.
“This "movie" is moving through the city, not to run after something, but rather simply to remain "movable" in these times where we need resilience and improvisation.” - Lars Ostmann
