Synopsis
公共场所
A fragmentary landscape for a little train station in a suburban area and a bus stop in a mining town. A lonely soldier in his heavy coat, a tired old man, a bubbly young lady, a punk, a woman waiting in the street… From all those different people in these unfamiliar places, we can feel the exhaustion of every life.
