Program Note
After losing her parents in an accident, Naomi, an editor at a small publishing house, moves into a luxury apartment thanks to her uncle. She starts a new life with her cat Haru in a home overlooking Tokyo. One day, she runs into Morinori Tokito, a famous actor. From Morinori who lives as an “image” on billboards to Naomi who lives on the 39th floor with her unpacked possessions and Asuko, Naomi’s aunt and a former flight attendant, the characters in Living in the Sky share the experience of living ungrounded. The film contains similar and contrasting metaphors of: publishing and meaning, high rises and one-story buildings, death and birth, acting and reality, and lies and truth. (CHOI Eun)
