People may say the wedding vow of having and holding each other “in sickness and in health”, but commitment is often tested. Emma takes her husband Ivan who is suffering from brain disorder to a distant beachside. Under the facade of camping, she contemplates something sinister, but is overwhelmed by memories of the husband before the illness kicked in, the sanctity of life, and the merits of mercy killing. Torn by emotions, she doubts her own intention.

There are two kinds of loneliness: The sense of isolation in society which people experience from time to time, and the loneliness in searching for the meaning of life. A young man and an old man suffer the same pangs of emotions not uncommon in the city. They live across the corridor as neighbours but remain strangers, facing the absurdity of life with no means to escape. The vibrant city continues day and night, fuelled by the nameless people living within.
