    • Synopsis
    • Why do I sleep so much when I am alone... Terako, who falls into a deep sleep at times, often remembers her best friend, Shiori, who has committed suicide. She quits her job, and sees an older boyfriend, Iwanaga, who has a wife in a vegetative state. The phone calls from him are recognizable for Terako even when she is asleep. The shock from her friend’s death and anxiety and loneliness from the love affair makes Terako’s sleep deeper and deeper.
