A supernatural adventure that blends domestic intimacy with folkloric dread, as a European man's discovery of ancient armor threatens the peaceful new life he's building with his Japanese wife in the countryside.

After a gruelling final tour, Aurélien decides to settle in Japan with his wife Nanako, who is pregnant with their first child. As the young couple move into a traditional house in the Japanese countryside, Aurélien discovers an ancient suit of armour in a well, which is about to awaken strange creatures known as Yokaïs.
