Set in Yokohama, Japan, in 2009, the story follows Aiko Tanaka, a shy and insecure student who lives between the heavy silence of her home and the constant mockery of her classmates. Her world feels small, repetitive, and lonely, shaped by anxiety, sleepless nights, and the quiet belief that she simply doesn't belong anywhere.
Everything begins to change when she accidentally meets Eric Harriman, a mysterious new transfer student from the United Kingdom. Unlike the others, Eric is kind, curious, and surprisingly interested in talking to her. When their art teacher assigns a new project-creating a short film with any theme-the task feels impossible for Aiko... until Eric proposes an unexpected idea.
To make the film about him.
What starts as a simple school project slowly becomes something deeper: an exploration of identity, loneliness, human connection, and the hidden stories people carry within themselves.
As the camera begins to record, Aiko starts to realize that Eric may not be as simple as he seems... and that her own life might also be a story worth telling.
