Synopsis:

Set in a near-future metropolis grappling with overpopulation and resource scarcity, *No. 5* explores the lives of individuals living within the confines of a massive, walled city. The narrative centers on a young man who works as a "cleaner," venturing outside the city walls to maintain the infrastructure that sustains its inhabitants. He navigates a world of stark contrasts – technological advancement juxtaposed with societal neglect and a pervasive sense of isolation.

The series delves into themes of freedom, confinement, and the human need for connection. It portrays a world where even essential services are imbued with an unsettling artificiality, prompting questions about the true cost of progress. *No. 5* presents a visually distinctive and introspective experience, focusing on character interactions and the psychological impact of living within such controlled circumstances.
