The short documentary captures Tokyo’s distinctive collision of football and creative expression. The film spotlights Tokyo footballer and community leader Kei Chisaka, a young athlete and creative who acts as a leader within the city’s football scene.
In a grassroots football culture that can often feel rigid and restrictive, Kei and his friends have instead embraced streetwear, music and design to express themselves through the lens of team sport.
In the film, we follow a day in Kei’s life, showing how young players in Tokyo are bypassing the mainstream, finding togetherness and rekindling their joy for the game beyond the constraints of professional football.
