8.7/10 by 3 users
In Kabukicho, Shinjuku, there is a dispensing pharmacy that is open only at night. People rush in one after another to the store, which stocks everything from nutritional drinks to birth control pills that require a doctor's prescription. A woman in the water business drinks down a drink that is said to be effective for the liver. A young man who had a headache while working late at night. And a restaurant owner who returns to his workplace only to make small talk. The store has become a kind of “infirmary” in the town, where people look forward to talking with the pharmacist. The film depicts the human drama of the nightless city.
