The Interpeter

Directed by Benito Bautista

Cast: Kumi Takiuchi, Kai Issey, Joshua Eusebio

An American traveling in Tokyo named Jacob has been flirt-texting with Hiromi, an independent and beautiful Japanese woman. Jacob hires an interpreter named Kaito, a young Japanese American, as he pursues to meet Hiromi in person. Kaito strives to be efficient in interpreting for his client Jacob while desperately trying to resist falling for Hiromi.

Their encounter is filled with disguised glances, each of them quietly imagining a future while momentarily stuck in the experience of their encounter and unaware of the misfortune ahead.
