Synopsis
Unemployed in the wake of the pandemic, 26 year-old filmmaker Taku decides to try his luck in Tokyo. Short on worldly possessions, using his bike and phone, he becomes an Uber Eats rider. Now, he can decide his own hours, and is free to choose when to take orders! But pedaling through deserted streets delivering boba tea to cloistered condos, he starts to wonder... what was it that Ken Loach said about the Uberization of society? Shot on a mixture of smartphones and GoPros, Taku invites the audience to join him on his daily rides speeding through a deserted Tokyo as he talks to himself and his peers, asking, for a young, unemployed person with $40,000 of student debt, does gig-work offer a model for the future?
