Chihiro is always thinking about death, worrying all those around him. He struggles as his desire to live wanes overtime. Chihiro and his wife, Yuri, decide to go on a trip to see his sister Kumi’s home in Bali, and Yuri hopes this will be a healing trip for both of them. However, the trip ends up being a disaster. Their relationship and his condition only worsens, Yuri becomes infatuated with another man and Kumi is preoccupied with getting ready to give birth. The three eventually realize they each have different needs and desires that they must achieve individually, and a sense of distance begins to envelop them. The film questions whether there is hope for the possibility of communication and a level of understanding among them, or if it will just end with the sad reality of continual disharmony.
