A filmmaker who focuses on the art of looking and gives his characters the space to do just that, to observe the other in their stillness and fullness. This story interweaves the narratives of two people at two points in time, and they meet again when the young Haru, who works in a bookshop, pretends to ask for directions from the older Yukiko, whose melancholy captivates her intensely.
