Скачать или смотреть When Home Is a Shift: Living in 24-Hour Capsule Rotations

In Tokyo, “home” can be something you rent in slices — three hours in a capsule, a booth in a manga café, a quick sento wash, a desk with an outlet… then back again. For thousands of people, this isn’t a one-night emergency. It’s a rotation system built around kiosks, receipts, and hourly pricing.

This documentary follows the logic of 24-hour capsule living: how space is portioned, how decisions get made at vending-style screens, how a day turns into a circuit of paid nodes — and what it does to your body when sleep comes in fragments.

From the price grid to the receipt ledger, you’ll see how “affordable” living can quietly become more expensive than rent — paid not in months, but in minutes.

Share your thoughts: is the city becoming a pay-per-use apartment?
