A young woman called Iro is haunted by a mysterious middle-aged man, on the verge of reality and nightmare.

Escaping another disappointing party, two inseparable best friends wander the city’s gray underbelly shimmering in glitter, searching for a spark of wonder to jolt them out of their thirties crisis.

Four stories. Two friends in search of their worth, a bewildering dialogue, a day in the life of a boy and the journey of a relationship.
