A week in the extraordinary-ordinary life of Mr. Moriyama, an enlightened Japanese amateur of art, architecture and music, who lives in one of the most famous creations of contemporary Japanese architecture, the Moriyama house, built in Tokyo in 2005 by Pritzker-prize winner Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA). Introduced into the intimacy of this experimental microcosm which redefines completely the common sense of domestic life, Ila Bêka recounts in a very spontaneous and personal way the unique personality of the owner: an urban hermit living in a small archipelago of peace and contemplation in the heart of Tokyo. From noise music to experimental movies, the film lets us enter into the ramifications of Mr. Moriyama’s free spirit.

Directors: Ila Bêka (Italy) & Louise Lemoine (France)
