Three Hams In A Can (NR)

synopsis

Three Australian experimental musicians travel to Tokyo for a tour. There they perform their music and do what all tourists do: eat, drink, go sightseeing, take photos, befriend strangers and battle the gruesome humidity. The camera quietly observes these goings-on, occasionally straying off path to witness the tiny and magical moments of everyday Tokyo. Told in a series of fragments and full of heart and humour, Three Hams in a Can adopts a minimalist approach to documenting the tour and the strange, yet familiar world the musicians enter. It is part music documentary, part home movie and part meditation on friendship, loneliness and the strangeness of life.
