Set over one night in Tokyo, we follow Leo, a young boxer down on his luck as he meets his first love Monica, a call girl and an addict but still an innocent. Little does Leo know, Monica is unwittingly caught up in a drug-smuggling scheme, and the two are pursued through the night by a corrupt cop, a yakuza, his nemesis, and a female assassin sent by the Chinese triads. All of their fates intertwine in MIIKE Takashi’s spectacular and anarchic style.
Academy Award-winning producer of The Last Emperor (1987), Jeremy THOMAS and MIIKE Takashi have worked together and created world-renowned Japanese action flick like Blade of Immortal(2017) and 13 Assassins(2010). Together again, they created another eccentric and exciting thriller, First Love as their fourth collaboration.
