A group of teenager friends tries to reunite by having a barbecue, one year after the loss of their friend. The atmosphere is very tense because one of them brings a Japanese exchange student. The Japanese girl notices how everyone is confronted with the past and how their friendship suffers from it.

A story that explores transformations of body, identity and relationships. It captures moments suspended between loss and discovery, solitude and desire. Without offering clear answers, it reveals the complexity of searching for connection, meaning, or belonging.
