Ima wa mukashi (2008)

A story of Western characters adrift in the heart of Japan. The three worlds of Mark, a famous novelist, Matthew, an English teacher, and John, a schizophrenic drifter, collide to produce The Olden Days Are Now, a bizarre art project with dimensions spilling over from fantasy into reality, stretching from the worlds of Japanese folklore and mythology to the modern streets of Kyoto and Osaka.
