Synopsis

Yuri, who works at the ticket window at a ferry terminal, is one-eyed. One day, she is held at knifepoint and locked away in captivity by an enigmatic man named Kwon, who has missed a ferry. At the very moment Yuri learns that Kwon has supernatural powers. As Kwon and Yuri become closer to each other, Yuri’s friend, Akiyama, accidentally finds the secret of Yuri’s supernatural power. Yuri has the ability to go back in time. As the price for her supernatural ability, Yuri becomes blind in one eye. In the meantime, Kwon gets shot by mysterious men. Yuri, who has started feeling affection for Kwon, tries to save him using her special power again. —IMDb

Director

Original

Ryuichi Hiroki

Ryūichi Hiroki (廣木 隆一 Hiroki Ryūichi?) is a Japanese artist, film director, and film editor. Ryūichi Hiroki is now one of the most prolific film directors in Japan. He is a pioneer in using digital video to shoot theatrical films in Japan. When he wanted to learn about making films as a student, he found a training opportunity in the pink film industry, a genre of erotic films produced exclusively for theatrical release since the early 1960s. He first produced the erotic film Seigyaku-Onna wo Abaku (Catch the Woman Out) in 1982. Hiroki left this genre when he received a scholarship at the Sundance Company in Tokyo. During his stay at Sundance, he wrote the script which he later developed into his 2000 film Tokyo Trash Baby. He is described by one film critic as one of Japan’s most fascinating film makers. —Wikipedia
