[ Story ]

A self-produced feature length film by Okuyama Yoshiyuki, who is active as a video director and photographer. A portrait of people's daily lives set on a single bench.
A small bench nestles in the grass beside a river. One evening, a man and a woman, who were childhood friends are reunited after a long time, whilst sitting on a bench. A wide variety of people seek out this spot: including a couple saying goodbye and an old man who interrupts, an older sister who ran away from home and became homeless, and a younger sister who came looking for her, a government employee who plans to remove the bench... and so on.
