Encounters arrive like unexpected summer breezes, while farewells descend like winter snowflakes, silently settling on the ground. Natsuo and Nagisa meet by the sea in a small town. Together, they find comfort in simply chatting and walking. Meanwhile, Li, a scriptwriter seeking creative inspiration, journeys to the snowy mountains. She stays in a guesthouse run by a grumpy old man whose unexpected actions pull her into a bizarre local incident. Based on two stories by Tsuge, Sho Miyake's Golden Leopard winner unfolds as an elegant, intimate meditation that explores, through these parallel journeys, how casual encounters gain profound resonance.
