Romantic Prelude

Nojima Satoshi (Junichi Okada) is a photographer whose job depends on his friend Shingo, a model, who in turn is in a middle of a career crisis. Nojima wants to photograph scenery, but is held back because he feels obligated to stay with his friend. His neighbor, Nanao (Kumiko Aso), works at a flower shop, has dedicated her life to her job and isn't involved in any romance. They've never met. However, they're aware of each other's presence by the sounds they make in their daily lives through the thin wall. Through twists and turns, they gradually realize their true desires; and on the road to reach their goals, their paths somehow intersects in this believable modern-day fairy-tale.
