Synopsis
Sasaki is an overworked, middle-aged office worker whose days blur together in a haze of corporate drudgery. His only bright spots are cigarette breaks and the smile of supermarket cashier Yamada. When he misses her shift one evening and can’t find a smoking area, a girl in a biker jacket named Tayama invites him to a secret spot — and something unexpected begins.
