Adrift in Tokyo (Japanese: 転々, Hepburn: tenten) is a 2007 Japanese film based on a novel by Yoshinaga Fujita.

Synopsis[]

Leading a lazy life, Fumiya has been a student for 8 years and owes money to loan sharks. One day, a man named Fukuhara comes to collect the loan, which Fumiya cannot pay. Fukuhara makes a proposition: he will cancel the debt as long as Fumiya agrees to take walks through Tokyo, eventually ending up at the police station in Kasumigaseki, where he intends to turn himself in for a crime he deeply regrets. Not having much choice, Fumiya accepts the deal.

The film is based on the original novel by the 125th Naoki Prize winner Yoshinaga Fujita.[1]
