One day, Nina wins two travel tickets and she invites her flatmate Su on a trip to Singapore. The two young women explore the city, in which some things are very familiar, while others seem strange. But when Nina gets lost, the banal touristic amusement takes an unexpected turn. Daisuke MIYAZAKI depicts a globalized youth culture, with actresses Nina ENDO and Sumire shining as a charming duo.
