Takehisa Ishida

Kaito is a university student who moved to the city because of its cheap rent. While killing time at home, a beautiful woman suddenly appears in front of him. Kaito and the woman continue to have sex, but Kaito senses something is wrong.

Sawada's childhood was shaped by his mother's abuse. Mentally wounded, he suffered from violent bullying attacks from his classmates as a teenager. But surprisingly he gets help from Kikuchi, who is the same age and who grew up with his brutal father and has learned to compensate for his hatred with outbursts of violence. They instinctively feel drawn to each other, but instead of finding a way out together, they remain driven from their traumatic childhood. During a visit to Sawada's mother's apartment, a catastrophe breaks out and a desperate escape begins.

Contemplative and almost without dialogues, the film shows the routine of inhabitants in a city: a young woman who lives alone; an eldery that lives in the street, next to the river; a police officer; customers in a bar; two students. Little by little, through flashbacks, the plot connects these characters.
