Junk Food

An old, blind woman wakes up by the ringing of her alarm clock, sacrifices at the altar, eats something and goes out into the street - a new day has dawned. The employee Miyuko wakes up somewhere next to a chance acquaintance, needs a shot, strangles the man and goes to the office. She is unfocused, talked her boss out of money and, while looking for a shot, gets caught by a violent dealer who leaves her maltreated. With difficulty, she returns home to her husband late at night. During the night, the plots of Hide, who has come to Tokyo for the funeral of his friend, the prostitute Myan, who spent the evening with Hide, the Pakistani Cawl, who has just killed two people, and Ryo, who is involved in a gang war, meet up, and together they bury Hide's friend at dawn before their paths part again. When her alarm clock rings, the old woman wakes up and begins her morning ritual - another day has begun. YAMAMOTO lets images of Tokyo and its people, for whom life as losers and outcasts can only be consumed as "junk food", restlessly clash.
