Synopsis:
Naomi works at his father’s waste collection company. He spends his days wishing that someday he can leave his parents’ home. One day, Naomi meets Maki, a young man who lives with his blind mother-in-law, Midori. Midori always tells Maki about her travels in the world, but the truth is that she has never been abroad. When she gets seriously ill, Midori entrusts her dream of traveling the world to Maki. However, Maki is unable to travel abroad due to lack of funds, so he decides to recreate the “sound” of places around the world with Naomi, and sends the recorded tapes to Midori. The two boys become intimate as they create the sounds together. However, Naomi and Maki are too clumsy to touch each other, so they play pranks and try to communicate through rough contact. The more their feelings grow, the more intense their actions become, and the more they hurt each other.
