The work of throwing the vector of one's own emotions into the heart of another person, and the work of "surveying" a disorderly land, maybe infinitely similar.

An omnibus made up of three stories featuring the characters "Man A and Man B", "Woman A and Woman B" and "Man A and Woman A". What happens when two people with completely different personalities are brought together? Something seems to happen, but in the end nothing happens. This film looks at the subtle twists and turns of communication between people from a pure perspective. The characters of the actors are hard to ignore.
