In Another Language 2022 / もうひとつのことば 2022 / Mo Hitotsu no Kotoba

Summer 2020. Pedestrians have begun to return to Tokyo. In one corner of a cafe, a man and woman are taking part in a One Coin English Cafe where participants can casually enjoy English conversation for a small price. Miki is a woman who tells lies about her work and background while participating in the conversation to satisfy her modest need for approval. Kenji is a young actor who plans to work in the US but is restricted from traveling there. The two of them hit it off and start playing a game where they visit English conversation cafes and act like different people. There are two rules to the game. ‟Stay out of each other’s life,‟ and ‟Don’t lie in Japanese.‟ (Source: Tick Tack Movie on Youtube)
