Stories Here and There: Synopsis
Stories Here and There is a film "about film". It tells how a film crew checks into its shooting location, stirring up a quiet town, and how, once the ripples pass, everything returns to calm. The film has three chapters, "Waiting Alone", "Seemingly Beautiful" and "The Pluto Moment". The town and the crew link the three chapters and their characters: a restaurant owner who does not fit in with the town, an actress who cannot return to her hometown, a director and a screenwriter locked in creative disagreement... The crew's arrival sends a ripple through the heart of everyone in the town, but ripples fade, and everything finally returns to calm.
