在这部假面东京剧情片中,本片讲述一群在日本的中国人，以外国人的眼光看繁荣的都市。表面繁华的背后隐藏着什么呢？主人公小周(修健饰)是一位梦想者，也是一位冒险者。在日5年，所有初到时的新鲜感早已经荡然无存，留下的是什么呢？本片为你展示了一个真实的东京，陈凯歌曾对此片大加赞赏。
Amidst the swirl of Tokyo's seamy nightlife of designer drugs, casual sex, and American slang, Zhou turns 30. It's a spiritual crisis for this Chinese immigrant who quotes Confucius, this Lothario and con artist who fences stolen goods. He falls for Kyoko, a seemingly shy provincial woman looking for the man who jilted her sister. As their relationship plays out, Hanawa intercuts stories of Kazuo, a hyper- kinetic artist who loves the trendy Yoko (Kazuo bores her and she pursues the indifferent Zhou), and Ali, a Pakistani Muslim who, broke and forlorn, stands outside a convenience store love-struck by a clerk because she looked into his eyes (she thought he was shop-lifting).
