Psychological Drama Thriller Tokyo 2026
Synopsis

A city of rigid hierarchies. A death no one questioned. Two people with nothing left to lose.

After her mentor's sudden death, Rio lost everything — her career, her stability, her faith that the truth matters. Blacklisted and barely surviving in Tokyo, she takes the only job available: caretaker to a reclusive man named Vic. He doesn't speak. He doesn't turn around. But he sees everything.

As an unlikely bond forms between them, Rio begins to realize that Vic is not who he appears to be — and that his obsessive attention to patterns may be connected to the very world she's been running from. Meanwhile, a powerful family is in crisis, a young detective can't let go of a case that was closed too quickly, and someone is watching from the shadows.

Three timelines. Buried secrets. And a reckoning that no one sees coming.

Characters

Some people refuse to disappear.

VIC
The Recluse
A man who lives alone in perfect order. He doesn't speak unless he chooses to. He sees patterns where others see chaos. No one knows what he's working on. No one thinks to ask.
RIO
The Survivor
A woman with a brilliant career behind her and nothing ahead. She lost someone who mattered. She carries something she's never shown anyone. And she's running out of reasons to keep going.
AKEMI
The Mentor
A dedicated professional who believed in doing the right thing. She took Rio under her wing. She discovered something she wasn't supposed to find. And then, one day, she was gone.
HAYASHI
The Detective
A young detective assigned to a routine case. Something didn't add up. They told him to move on. He filed the report. He closed the case. But he kept a folder he never deleted.
Vision

Different minds. Invisible connections. Nothing is what it seems.

"The person everyone dismissed was paying attention the whole time."

LUDO is a psychological thriller about the people the world overlooks — and what happens when they stop being invisible. A film about corporate power, buried truths, and the extraordinary clarity that comes from thinking differently.

Set in Tokyo across three interwoven timelines, it builds from quiet intimacy to devastating revelation. The audience discovers the truth alongside the characters — each timeline recontextualizing what came before, until nothing is what it seemed.

Written, directed, and embodied by someone who understands what it means to think differently in a world that punishes difference.
