Synopsis

Kyōgen stage/Eye specialist's examination room/Sushi counter. In each space two people meet. Their physical distance is contrasted by a flurry of emotions they each experience. Feelings of the most diverse kind, alternating between fear and fascination, tenderness and sanctuary, flare up and are immediately put into practice. I try to somehow blend and connect them.
