Street Corner Legal Consultation Office

Document 72 Hours – Season 9

This time, the setting is a “legal consultation office.” People with problems they cannot solve on their own rush to the consultation office in Shinjuku, Tokyo. From serious concerns involving money, such as “I am troubled by high charges on the internet but cannot talk to my family about it” and “My relationship with my neighbor has deteriorated due to noise problems,” to domestic disputes. The issues brought to the lawyers reveal the pitfalls of daily life and the fragility of human relationships. Over three days, we examine modern society through the lens of the issues that flood the city.
