Good People (2019)
Good People is a human drama set in modern Tokyo, where nationality and background intermingle in everyday life. The story follows three young adults — each overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness — whose lives unexpectedly intersect as they search for meaning, connection, and the courage to reclaim the dreams they once abandoned. Originally screened under the title Pancakes, the film stars Jay West, Dante Carver, and Asami Imajuku, alongside strong supporting performances from Sei Ashina, Tetsuji Tamayama, Yoshinori Okada, and Yuri Nakamura.
