Aoki & Mori

A lonely Japanese gay man, Aoki, spends a night alone in a hotel, seeking companionship through a gay dating app. Encounters with other men leave him feeling empty and depressed, and he begins to contemplate the challenges of finding love and acceptance as a gay man in Japan. As Aoki walks through Tokyo's Ni-Chome, his night suddenly changes when he meets a cute boy, Mori, in a phone booth. Hong Kong director Joris Wu's independent drama short film made in Tokyo was screened at the Weimar Queer Film Festival and HK.Kino.Berlin.
