What Yentown - Swallowtail Butterfly is
You wash up in a neon sluice called Yentown where the black market hums like a broken jukebox. A runaway foreign girl trades contraband secrets for shelter. Then the city’s corporate overlords mark her as stolen goods. Shunji Iwai observes the glow of cigarette lighters spelling rebellion before the neon ceases.
