Synopsis

In 1973 Tokyo, a detached young man runs a translation service and lives with two enigmatic twin girls. His life lacks direction until he becomes obsessed with finding a specific pinball machine from his past. This quiet, surreal journey through the city becomes a search for meaning and connection in an increasingly alienating world.
