21:33. A crumbling love hotel in Shin-Okubo, Tokyo.

A receptionist begins her first shift at a family-owned hotel, currently managed by her uncle. With only a ragged manual that’s been handwritten by her grandfather and amended by her father during his youth (and with some help from the cleaning staff, Mrs. Rai), she navigates this peculiar world.

Her father’s favourite 80s soft rock plays from an old radio as she encounters Tokyo’s undercurrent of stories. A couple hiding their affair, a sex worker and her client, misguided foreign tourists, a pair trying to get lucky after a night of drinking all cross her path. Each room key she hands over reveals a slice of life, making her question the hotel’s legacy and its place in a transforming society.

This is a record of those unseen in the daylight. They were all here, and she was there as well.
