Description

Sumire is in love with a woman seventeen years her senior. Miu is glamorous and successful. Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots like a character in a Kerouac novel.

Then, a desperate Miu calls from a small Greek island: Sumire has mysteriously vanished…
