As people pass by the busy station square, a man wearing a white shirt and a pair of black slacks is standing next to an automatic photo stand. Then a smart, good looking woman passes his side before entering a cafe. The man seems to know the woman. The man follows her in to the cafe. Just a short ten minute conversation over a cup of coffee, shared by the two.

In a distinctly contemporary Tokyo that looks backwards to the city’s disappearing past, Yoko is a writer investigating the life of a modernist composer of the 1930s. She is pregnant by a man she does not want to marry and has found a kindred spirit in a used bookstore owner who aids her research.

A man in his mid-20s, still living at home with his mother and stepfather, puts all his eggs in one basket: the girl who works at his local coffee shop. The problem is, she has a serious boyfriend. As they become closer, the line between friendship and intimacy is blurred, and the situation forces both to examine where they are in their lives.
