Dans un âge crépusculaire, les humains cohabitent avec les hybrides nommés les Others sur un monde assoiffé. Un petit diner isolé des bourgs trône sur des landes balayées par les vents, où deux personnes préparent des boîtes-repas à livrer et s'occupent de leurs tâches quotidiennes interminables. Leur routine vole en éclats lorsqu'ils découvrent une grande valise au bord de la route, surmontée d'une fille aux cheveux roses, immobile.
Ce conte indie casual se déploie sous un soleil implacable et des vents sableux, tandis que le duo affronte les vides de son existence aride. Ils se soutiennent dans la monotonie, comblant ensemble leurs manques intérieurs. Les amateurs de récits intimistes centrés sur les personnages, dans des décors épurés, se prendront à son rythme posé et ancré.
Let us live
on this land so arid.
KARAKARA. It is the sound of aridity. It is the sound of dry asphalt and sandy winds. It is the sound of relentless sunshine, as well as the sound of a withering race.
The "Age of Dusk." It is a time of senescence for the human species, during which hybrids known as the "Others"—those who are human, yet not—exist in great numbers. On the windswept barrens of a land without moisture, a small gathering of people make their living in a world they no longer know. Down a stretch of highway and far from the heart of the town are two such people who run a small diner. To them, the circumstances that reshaped their world is of far less concern than the number of lunch boxes they can load into their delivery vehicle. After all, leaving customers hungry is not good for business, and business keeps them fed. Day after day, they occupy themselves with the endless work of their store. However, the comfortable monotony of their daily lives is turned on its head when they discover a large suitcase by the roadside on their way home from deliveries. Lying on the suitcase, unmoving, is a young girl with pink hair...
Though parched, they keep each other company,
and while hollow, they fill each other's voids.
So shall they live
on this land so arid.
