Yuka Taga

A film about two siblings confronted with sacrifice on the longest day of the year

On the 200th year anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Magic Hour is a genderbending retelling of the classic story with a modern twist; in this psychedelic-macabre portrait of a mysterious young woman who wakes up one morning without a soul, and roams the streets of Tokyo in search of one.

Disillusioned by corrupt authorities, Thao and their friends decide to seek street justice against a thieving gang, aiming to foster renewed solidarity and protect their community.
