A Kubrickian story of desire, alienation, and a strange encounter.
A coincidental encounter propels Aya, who is waiting for her husband at the airport, to pick up a complete stranger instead. The immediate sense of intimacy that sparks between the two ends abruptly when the man disappears, leaving Aya with a key to his hotel room and a yearning that perhaps only a complete stranger can fulfill.
