JOHATSU – INTO THIN AIR
Germany, Japan 2024 – Director: Andreas Hartmann, Arata Mori – Original language: Japanese – Subtitles: English, German – Length: 86 min.
Japanese night moving companies specialise in the art of disappearance and help those who need or want to leave their former lives behind. On their nightly missions they discretely and efficiently orchestrate people’s transition to a new existence. In the process, they often skirt the boundaries of legality due to the diverse motivations behind the disappearances. Eva Weinmann
