Coco, a young woman from Beijing, dreams of a glamorous Christmas getaway in Osaka – but instead finds herself in Shinsekai, an aging neighborhood known for its grit and hardship. At first disillusioned by the run-down streets and unexpected encounters, she soon becomes entangled in the struggles of a local Chinese family. Through this surprising journey, Coco discovers a side of Japan she never imagined and confronts parts of her own heritage she barely knew. A heartfelt cross-cultural story, New World is about finding beauty and meaning where you least expect it.
