Hiro, a young Korean man in Japan, meets Aoi, a digital artist from a wealthy but restrictive family. As their relationship deepens, they visit a charkha studio, inspiring Hiro to create music again. Aoi rejects her family’s corporate expectations and stays at Hiro’s mother’s house. When Hiro gets an unexpected music opportunity in New York, they plan to go together, but Aoi’s father pressures them to separate.
