Along with his wife Yuri (Yoko Mitsuya Yoko), the dying Chihiro (Saito Takumi) arrives in Bali to visit his pregnant sister Kumi (Kiki Sugino) and her Dutch husband Luke (film critic Tom Mes) who live there. With long takes and a measured pace, the film allows the cast to really dive into their roles. Focusing on each couples inability to communicate, their own needs and desires driving them further and further apart, the film is content to let sadness and melancholy permeate through the beautiful scenic backgrounds. Erotic, existential, and rich in atmosphere Sugino continues to prove that she is an independent director to watch even with only three films under her belt.
