SYNOPSIS

On a Spring Day, Sayaka, a college student, Yui, for whom Sayaka feels secretly attracted, and Yui’s best friend, Momoko, decide to go on a day out to a holiday villa by the beach in Shonan. The film focuses on these three girls, showing how their relationships come and go. Nonetheless, they are not alone in the villa. The film intertwines the friends’ paths with the lives of other characters, such as the musician Akihiro, two exchange students from Korea, and a Thai poet. Thus, the movie weaves different storylines that focus on female sexuality, desire, and the course of life, among others.
