Released theatrically in Japan in December 2003, it's an award winning film (numbers of best actress awards) based on an award-nominated novel about a freelance writer and a long-haul truck driver.

The film's main character Rei (Terashima Shinobu)is a freelance writer bombarded by the voices in her own head - her mother's scolding, the gossip of friends at school, and the voice of her own unrequired desires. Losing sleep and developing eating disorders, and dependent on alcohol, Rei is on the brink of losing her mind.

Then one night, when she stops by a convenience store to purchase alcohol, she meets a long distance trucker (Omori Nao), and everything changes. Mysteriously attracted to this stranger, and prodded by the voices in her head, she joins him in a journey she hopes will eventually be the key to her salvation.
