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. A species of people that had disappeared makes its reappearance. They are called "passers-by" and they scare her. In fact, she meets one of them during a walk. He doesn't see her. 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. Instead, she takes us through a labyrinth of reflections and shows us her own perspective on this new everyday life.
