    Synopsis:

    This narrative explores the quiet connection forged between two young men, Kai and Syuhei, whose lives exist on opposite ends of the social spectrum. Kai, raised in humble circumstances, finds solace and expression in an abandoned piano nestled in the woods near his home. Syuhei, conversely, is immersed in a world of musical privilege, practically raised alongside a piano by generations of accomplished musicians. Their disparate backgrounds converge through this shared instrument, leading to an unexpected and evolving relationship. The story unfolds with a contemplative pace, focusing on themes of identity, belonging, and the subtle ways art can transcend social divides. It offers a character-driven experience, emphasizing the emotional resonance found in shared passion rather than grand spectacle.
