## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You guard a pop star through sleazy hotel corridors and the hit man’s face flickers in the elevator bank. Then he glides into your old hotel room without a key. The film’s neon-lit Tokyo feels like a maze of mirrors and memory where every caress could be a blade. Takahito Hara traps desire and danger behind glass and gunmetal.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, sexy
