Tokyo Fiancee

First Run Features • 1h 37m

Directed by Stefan Liberski • Drama • With Pauline Etienne, Taichi Inoue • 2014 • 100 minutes

The young, pixie-like Amélie is in love with all things Japanese, which prompts her to buy a one-way ticket to Tokyo in order to completely immerse herself in Japanese culture. She offers to work as a French tutor, and soon finds herself enjoying a passionate relationship with her only student, the charming Rinri. As the two explore the joys (and awkwardness) of their first real romance and the colorful city around them, many cultural barriers fall...but some still remain.
