Taguchi Hiro is a hikikomori. For the last two years he has been living in seclusion, without leaving his room in his parents' house. In an attempt to return to the real world, the young man goes to the park, where he sits on a bench all day long and watches life around him. Tetsu Ohara has lost his job, but cannot confess this to his wife. Every day he leaves the house in a suit and tie, but instead of the office he goes to the park and sits on a bench until the evening. Hiro and Tetsu discover an inexplicable kinship of souls. They learn to listen and empathize: despair and sadness, hopes and dreams of one seem close and understandable to another. This invisible connection helps each of them little by little to find the strength to start life anew.
