Twenty-two-year old Sumire is in love for the first time with a woman 17 years her senior. However, Miu is a glamorous and successful older woman with a taste for classical music and fine wine, while Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second-hand coat and heavy boots. Surprised, after all, that she might be a lesbian, Sumire talks endlessly on the phone to her best friend K about the big questions of love and desire. K, a primary school teacher, is used to answering questions but what he most wants is to tell Sumire he loves her. Frustrated in his love for Sumire, K begins an affair with the mother of one of his pupils. When a desperate Miu phones him, out of the blue, from a Greek island, he discovers that all is not as it seems and something very strange has happened to Sumire.
