Unable to pay a huge debt, student loser Takemura (Heart throb Joe Odagiri) is forced to accompany tough collector with a heart, Fukuhara (Tomokazu Miura) on a walking tour of Tokyo. 

More than a road trip than anything else, ADRIFT IN TOKYO is most interesting when it reveals the nuances of this huge city – such as the presence of speciality shops like the little one owned by ‘Shinjuku Mama’.  Director Miki’s keen observation of his characters, humour and attention to odd details keep his film interesting from start to finish.  But do not expect any logic otherwise.  What happened to Takemura’s schooling?  And the protagonists’ pasts?
