Four young people fascinated by the book N.P* meet over the summer in Japan. They all share a connection or history with this collection of autobiographical stories written by the late Sarao Takase. The film uses their complex web of relationships to reflect on how a translation relates to its original, fiction to reality; and on their often incestuous interaction.
