Popular novelist Ami Tokida is in the middle of divorce mediation over the custody of her only son who is in elementary school. One day, a mysterious man appears at the apartment where she works, asking for a room for the night. Despite the objection of her editor Reiko Iijima, Ami rents out her room out of curiosity. The mysterious man seems to be looking through a telescope at the apartment across the street. The next morning, Reiko casually looks into the telescope left in the room. What she saw there was a scene of child abuse. Ami's best-selling novel ‟Setsugekka‟ tells the story of a girl who is abused by her mother. Was the incident in the apartment across the street a coincidence or inevitable? (Source: Japanese = runecinema.com || Translation = XuongPhim)
