Movies set in multiverses are now a sci-fi staple, with 2022 multiple Oscar winner ¡°Everything Everywhere All at Once¡± being the best recent example.

Based on Ueda¡¯s original script, the cunningly plotted and propulsively paced film unfolds in a real-life corner of Tokyo¡¯s trendy Shimokitazawa neighborhood that is occupied by a used clothing store on the first floor and the Crescent Rock restaurant, Good Heavens pub and Tollywood Theater on the second.
