Stell, a warm-hearted restaurateur and personal chef helming a cozy vintage-themed eatery, spots a sleek, well-preserved CRT TV at a Japanese surplus store.
Captivated by its retro allure, he brings it back to showcase in his dining area, certain it will amplify the nostalgic ambiance.
Unbeknownst to him, the set imprisons Paulo-a mischievous bully ghost who delights in popping up with jump scares, flickering the screen, whispering eerie murmurs, and conjuring fleeting spooky visions to startle patrons. Yet beneath his menacing façade lies profound loneliness: trapped in the TV for decades, Paulo fears vulnerability and hides his desperate longing for connection behind fear.
As strange disturbances unsettle his customers, Stell faces a dilemma: remove the TV to protect his business, or delve into the mystery of the restless spirit.
As he investigates, a slow, unexpected pull begins to form between them-Stell's kindness softening Paulo's defenses, and Paulo's playful (if spooky) presence adding a quirky spark to the restaurant.
Will he uncover Paulo's sorrow, mend his lonely heart, and forge a tender bond beyond the screen, or will the ghost's antics drive away his loyal diners?
