SYNOPSIS

Mika is a nurse by day, and a ‘girlie bar’ hostess by night. Subject to feelings of anxiety and isolation, she finds it difficult to express tenderness to other people. Shinji, while struggling as a day-hire construction worker with a sense of impending doom, still tries to find the source of an unnamable hope. Set in Tokyo in 2017, where empty words, a sense of doom, and feelings of isolation co-exist with hope, trust, and love, “The Tokyo Night Sky is Always the Densest Shade of Blue” is the densest kind of love story.
