Pivoting around the low-rent and almost dilapidated Arcade Hotel, the strange stories of four visitors unwittingly intertwine, as the aloof couple of Japanese teenagers-Mitsuko, who yearns to visit Graceland, and Jun, a sad-faced die-hard fan of Carl Perkins-arrive in the Tennessee ghost town, in "Far from Yokohama". Over the course of a single night in pale Memphis-the home of Sam Phillips' legendary Sun Studio-a vivid triptych of romantic Rock n' Roll pilgrimage sad nostalgia emotional Americana, and forgotten, decrepit places unfolds.
