As youth violence rises in London, a wild and rebellious community of young people tear through the city’s streets in the name of ‘Knives Down, Bikes Up’.

In a Japanese coastal town still haunted by the 2011 tsunami, a taxi becomes a moving confession booth. Over the course of one night, a series of conversations between drivers and their passengers reveal how those who survived live with the dead - as ghostly tales, dreams and everyday life merge in a magical drift between reality and imagination.
