“Can loneliness be experienced together?”

Drama

Mika works as a nurse by day; by night she entertains covetous men at a girls' bar. Shinji is blind in one eye and ekes out a living as a construction worker. Young and grown-up at the same time, they both lead a lonely existence, but somehow their paths keep miraculously crossing under the Tokyo sky.

VIBE

A tender, melancholic exploration of urban solitude, where fleeting encounters under a vast Tokyo sky hint at profound human connection. It's a quiet, atmospheric journey through the lives of those searching for meaning and warmth in a sprawling, indifferent city.
