The Haunting Emptiness of Modern Life
In the heart of Tokyo, alongside the ceaseless hum of Route 8, stands a seven-story building where reality begins to unravel. Forty-seven-year-old scriptwriter Harada has moved into this building following his divorce, occupying an apartment he once used as an office. After three weeks of solitary existence, he notices something unsettling-an unnatural silence pervading the building at night. Looking out his window, he sees only a single pink van in the otherwise deserted parking lot, and realizes his might be the only illuminated window in the entire structure. This concrete ghost ship becomes a physical manifestation of his emotional state-a hollow shell housing a single occupant surrounded by emptiness. The building's liminal nature-neither fully residential nor commercial, neither fully occupied nor abandoned-mirrors Harada's own in-between state. Recently divorced, professionally adrift, and emotionally untethered, he exists in a borderland where the boundaries between past and present, living and dead, begin to dissolve. His isolation deepens when his colleague Mamiya delivers a shocking announcement: he intends to pursue Harada's ex-wife with marriage in mind. This betrayal by someone he's worked with for nearly a decade cuts deep, especially when Mamiya frames his declaration as a courtesy. The encounter leaves Harada reeling, adding another layer of abandonment to his already fragile emotional state.
