So close, yet their heart are far apart.
A story of two people who slowly blend together, like whisky.
Just arrived from Taiwan, university student Luyun is waiting to meet Miyako, the mother of her boyfriend Yuta, whom she met in Taipei.
Their meeting place is a station near the coast in Chiba.
The three of them had planned to travel together, but when Yuta suddenly becomes delayed by work, Luyun and Miyako, meeting for the first time, find themselves sharing an awkward, uneasy moment they cannot quite escape.
