Angel in the Toilet

Directed by Kôichi Imaizumi

Entering a restroom, a young man finds himself pursued by another man interested in him, embarking on a fable about an angel residing in the restroom, offering love to lost souls.
Angel in the Toilet is an unusual Japanese gay short film mixing cruising, melancholy and fantasy in a way that becomes unexpectedly tender. Kôichi Imaizumi makes expressive use of wordless performance and strange visual details, turning an unglamorous public space into something surreal, intimate and quietly moving.
