A lyrical, melancholic meditation on two isolated souls finding unexpected solace and authenticity in each other's company amid the disorientation of Tokyo.

Two lost souls visiting Tokyo -- the young, neglected wife of a photographer and a washed-up movie star shooting a TV commercial -- find an odd solace and pensive freedom to be real in each other's company, away from their lives in America.
