Amongst the bustling crowds and underground karaoke clubs of present-day Tokyo, the desires and aspirations of three young women collide.
Amongst the bustling crowds and underground karaoke clubs of present-day Tokyo, the desires and aspirations of three young women - Iranian student Naima, bartender Kei and aspiring model Ai - bubble to the surface and become inextricably linked when an apparent language barrier in fact proves to be the connection, and means to attraction, that will connect them.
Takuro Nakamura's 'West North West' weaves together themes of nascent sexuality, religious commitment and the boundaries of friendship to create a deeply affecting cross-cultural ode to modern womanhood.
