At a luxury hotel by the sea, renowned writer Kenji Shimizu (played by Hidetoshi Nishijima) arrives with his wife (played by Sayaka Kanda). Shimizu gained fame with his debut work, but his second piece received lukewarm responses, and now he faces a creative block. At the same time, he and his wife are growing increasingly distant. During this period, he notices a somewhat eye-catching and strange pair—a middle-aged man, Sawahara (played by Takeshi Kitano), who is unremarkable in appearance, and a young, pure, and beautiful girl, Miki (played by Shiori Kutsuna). Their relationship is filled with ambiguity and desire, sparking Shimizu's curiosity. He approaches them and discovers that Sawahara has been filming Miki while she sleeps for many years, with the footage filled with admiration and obsession. The secret captivates Shimizu... This film is adapted from the short story "While the Woman Are Sleeping" by the renowned Spanish author Javier Marías.
