Kaoru has Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), and is not allowed to be exposed to sunlight. She sleeps during the day and is active at night. She busks every night in front of a station playing guitar. Outside her bedroom window, she spots a high school boy with a surfboard. She watches him and his friends visit the ocean every morning, before going to sleep. One day, she introduces herself to him without letting him know about her illness. He is Kji Fujishiro (Takashi Tsukamoto) When her cousin drags her home, they sit by her window while they watch Kji meet his friends. Kaoru explains everything, and her cousin notes that she probably goes to the same school as him, and offers to spy on him for her.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a tender narrative from the juxtaposition of nocturnal isolation and daytime freedom. It relies on the metaphor of light and darkness, exploring not just illness, but the universal longing to connect with a world from which one is separated.

What lingers after the credits is the gentle humor of misadventures and the poignant ache of a relationship built on secrets. The crime elements feel almost incidental to the core story of two souls reaching across a divide. — MovieFinder Editorial
