A businessman and a female musician meet in Vienna and spend an evening together. Far from their country, Japan, they meet in hopes of finding in their memories some signs of belonging to a common culture. Between poetry and nostalgia, a school film uses small gestures and silences, in homage to a certain Asian cinema.

A Japanese businessman and a Japanese female musician happen to meet in Vienna after many years. Now they are forced to seek and define their cultural and personal home.
