Quarantine. People locked in their homes. Terrified. We follow a girl during her everyday life. She goes out alone or sits at home doing...nothing. We hear her thoughts, her concerns.

People have stopped feeling because they should but she hasn't made it and still feels. He feels an overwhelming need to speak to this passer-by, the stream boy. He doesn't.
