woman seventeen years her senior. But whereas
Miu is glamorous and successful, Sumire is an
aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized
second-hand coat and heavy boots like a
character in a Kerouac novel. Surprised that she
might, after all, be a lesbian, Sumire spends
hours on the phone talking to her best friend K
about the big questions in life: what is sexual
desire and should she ever tell Miu how she
feels for her. rustrated in his own love for
Sumire, K consoles himself by having an affair
with the mother of one of his pupils. Then a
desperate Miu calls from a small Greek island
and asks for his help, and he discovers
something very strange has happened to Sumire.
