In the middle of a rainy night, amid a grave accident, some tiny, lonely, and ordinary lives will intertwine in a way they couldnt have imagined.

A driver who long for the return of his long-gone father, a writer who want to pursue his dream, an old lady who just get by, a mistress who just want to have someone, an architect who looking for something, a store cashier who want to see her boyfriend again, and a stray dog.

When death is closer than life, when all that matters is farer and everything seems meaningless, when the energy of a car crash lifts everything floating in the air to the lightness. In that moment when everything seems pointless, will they realize the meaning of their lives?
