Short Film

Tokyo Metro Tango was inspired by the song “The Passers-By” by Georges Brassens, about fleeting moments and the strangers who pass through our lives, leaving behind only the faint outlines of stories that never quite begin. 


[…] À la compagne de voyage
Dont les yeux, charmant paysage
Font paraître court le chemin

Qu'on est seul, peut-être, à comprendre
Et qu'on laisse pourtant descendre
Sans avoir effleuré la main […]


I don’t dance tango.

But now, I wish I did.


Have a beautiful commute.
