Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
In this rather experimental festival piece, Yoriko Doguchi plays a real estate agent who has been given some odd instructions by a client: he wants an inexpensive room which is quiet, and has a window with no views of Tokyo's many skyscrapers. The real estate agent travels all over Tokyo to find such a room (it turns out to be a really rare commodity). It also turns out that the real estate's client (Akaji Maro is an assassin, who needs something like the room he described in order to recover psychologically from the rigors of his latest assignment.
