How it feels

Four people in Japan each struggle with their own personal failures and disconnection from others. A woman cooks for an ex she cannot win back, a music fan misses a concert due to overtime, a day laborer has no friends, and a young man turns to violence out of frustration. Their messy lives eventually cross paths.
