At Sasaki Midori's concert, Takahashi Rin is suddenly proposed to by Chinese painter Zhao Buliang. Henceforth, everything becomes different.
Echoes of the Orient

Buliang Zhao is a Chinese man living with his Japanese partner Rin Takahashi, an office worker. He works at a warehouse that sponsors his visa while he pursues his passion for art in the face of family demands for him to return home while Rin patiently weathers overbearing colleagues and her own family’s expectations over her settling down. Through these two characters, on the verge of parting due to the demands of others, the film explores the limits of personal freedom and desire. (Text by Jason Maher)
