[ Story ]

The "dreams" seen by people are intertwined through an abstract mystery in this surreal fantasy directed by Ikeda Akira whose Anatomy of a Paper Clip won the grand prizes at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Vancouver International Film Festival.
At one time, Konoko (Sumii Kujirako) wakes up on the shore and goes in search for a barber in order to have an bug stuck to her head removed. Pharmacist Doi (Shiba Hirofumi) wakes up with a wife who asks two favors of him. Kazuko (Ota Michi) wakes up in a theater and heads for a general store intent on eradicating a blue ghost in her home.
