map of the sounds of tokyo (Japanese)
The Story:
Set in Tokyo, Ryu (Rinko Kikuchi) is a solitary girl whose fragile appearance is in stark contrast with the double life she leads, working nights at a Tokyo fishmarket and sporadically taking on jobs as a hit-woman.
Mr Nagara (Takeo Nakahara) is a powerful impresario mourning the loss of his daughter Midori (, who has committed suicide. He blames David (Sergi López), a Spaniard who runs a wine business in Tokyo.
Mr Nagara's employee, Ishida (Hideo Sakaki), was silently in love with Midori and hires Ryu to murder David.
A sound engineer (Min Tanaka), obsessed with the sounds of the Japanese city and fascinated with Ryu, witnesses this love story which searches the shadows of the human soul, reaching deep into places where only silence has the power of eloquence
