CloseShou is an aimless 20 year-old who has quit his band, been dumped by his girlfriend and, after concluding that the future is hopeless, has lost himself in a blur of alcohol and pornography.
When he is tasked with cleaning out the garbage-strewn apartment of a recently murdered aunt he never knew he had, Shou finds himself drawn to this kindred spirit and inspired by her irrepressible hope in the face of truly awful circumstances.
Q&A with Gabrielle Roberto, composer, following the screening
