Yoko (Atsuko Maeda) hosts a popular global travel show yet is cautious and insular like many young Japanese. But she has a bigger dream. On assignment in Uzbekistan, Yoko and her small TV crew attempt to catch a mythical fish but fail. They also film segments in Samarkand but feel it's lacking. Indifferent to her job, Yoko prefers texting her boyfriend in Tokyo. At night, she comes across a tied up goat and suggests releasing it on camera. The plan goes awry and Yoko feels indignant and naive. The team move to Tashkent where Yoko wanders into an opulent theatre, fantasizing she's on stage. She confides her ambitions to her cameraman but admits her heart's not ready. While filming, Yoko's timid nature inadvertently gets her in trouble with the police. At the station she hears of a disaster in Tokyo and realizes how important human communication truly is. Some of the team return to Japan but Yoko stays. As she ventures into the mountains she sings from the heart and her spirit is freed.

Yoko (Atsuko Maeda) travels with a small crew to Uzbekistan to shoot an episode of her travel reality show. In front of the camera, her persona is carefree and happy-go-lucky, but behind the scenes she is cautious and introverted. Despite her best efforts, the filming of the television series ends unsuccessfully, and frustrated by the failure, she sets off into the mysterious country. Lost in the streets of Tashkent, she finds herself adrift and alone, confronting her deepest fears and hidden aspirations. [KimStim]

A globetrotting noir that chases smuggled drugs from San Francisco to China to Egypt to Lebanon to Cuba, Robert Stevenson’s To the Ends of the Earth begins with one of the cruelest crimes in noir: spotted and chased by the Coast Guard, a drug smuggling freighter called the Kira Maru is forced to get rid of its “crew” of 100 Egyptian slaves by chaining them all to each other and dumping them overboard. Having witnessed this act helplessly through binoculars, United States Narcotics Agent Michael Barrows (Dick Powell) makes it his mission to avenge the slaves by eliminating the smuggling racket and its perpetrators, a commitment that takes him around the world, tracking each link in the chain backwards, some contacts going so far as suicide just to avoid talking. In China, Barrows meets Ann Grant (Signe Hasso), recently widowed from an engineer who may have been involved with the drug trade, and the orphan Chinese teenager Shu Pan Wu (Maylia) whom Grant is preparing to send back to the United States to start a new life. The film’s pace is fast, accelerated by Powell’s constant voiceover, which adds greater depth to the character and somehow never seems excessive or unnecessary, and even offers a few lessons on poppy harvesting and opium production. Featuring a couple of excellent twists, it’s an American noir set everywhere except America, the noir visual universe springing to life especially whenever the action takes place at dusk or at sea.
