Two stories casually intersect. A young student with a stutter is unhappy at school. She spends many hours with her bedridden grandmother, losing herself in her book. A composer-musician is trying to find herself, struggling with her motivation and self-confidence. Both find solace in the night. With Sekai, Tsukada Marina has made a warm and intimate portrait of two separate lives that briefly come together in a moment of hope.
