Synopsis
Starting to work part-time at a cafe after quitting the job as a curator at an art museum, Sachi has moved to an apartment room where a regular at the cafe recommended. The whole renewal of her job and address is for overcoming the incident that her partner, Yuki, lost her life by suicide when they were living together. Yet, while Yuki can never be seen again, her image remains in Sachi’s mind and the illusion still appears in front of her eyes. Gradually, Sachi chooses to live her own life, being watched over by her uncle and aunt who have been taking care of her from the young ages, friends, former colleague, cafe manager, and others.
