The Last Customer

A New York pharmacy and the feelings of the people who have run it, putting their heart and soul into it, for two generations: the Gardini family. In March 2002 the old building where the family has always lived with the pharmacy on the ground floor is knocked down. The last day of business, the emotional farewells of the (regular) costumers, clearing out the shop and, in the end, the demolition of the building to make way for a skyscraper.

Vibrator

Rei Hayakawa, a freelance writer, has the ability to hear voices within her own head. Voices like that ofher mother’s scolding, school friends’ gossip and also the voice of her true feelings left unexpressed. But the voices cause her pain: they worry her, deplete her sleep, drive her to drink and cause heating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. One night in a convenience store, with the voices ever present in her head, she meets a truck driver.”I want to touch him…” She embarks on a journey with him, her body yielding to the vibrations of his truck, releasing her from the reliance on the voices in her head.

Although it does not have a conventional plot, the film’s narrative depicts the inner dramas of a farmer, a junkman, a preacher and a young boy who inhabit the empty farms and the abandoned countryside.
