A quiet, observational study of five strangers sharing an apartment, exploring the paradox of physical proximity masking emotional distance and unknowability.

The story of a strange living situation in a 2LDK apartment in suburban Tokyo. There are five residents ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-eight. They are not in any way romantically involved with one another, but one can see subtle hints of affection and friendship among them. In the end, however, none of them really know each other.
