ComingSoon is debuting the exclusive One Night in Tokyo trailer for the forthcoming romance drama about two strangers who find an unlikely connection with each other despite having a language barrier. Described as being in the same vein as A24’s Past Lives, the film initially had a screening at the 2024 Cinequest Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award.

“Sam arrives in Tokyo to visit his expat girlfriend Becca — only to be broken up with as soon as he arrives at her apartment. Left wandering around Tokyo alone, he decides to cut his trip short and return to the U.S. the next day. Stuck for the night while he waits for his new flight, he makes an unlikely friend in Ayaka, who reluctantly takes him out with her friends,” reads the official synopsis. “As Sam and Ayaka both struggle to communicate due to their language barrier, trust and reliance in each other become imminent when betrayal sends their worlds crashing down. As the pair walk through the mesmerizing streets of Tokyo together, they must not only overcome obstacles to understand each other, but also break down their own walls to understand themselves.”
