I found this movie on hoopla. A surreal and anxiety-inducing experience: we follow the journey of a young woman working as a reporter for a Japanese network's feature on Uzbekistan. Out of her element, we see how she struggles to hold her ground as she does what is necessary to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. The film relies on a lot of mundane clips of what seem to be just her wandering around, requiring us to likewise experience the disorientation of being in a strange place while lost in life.
