A short travelogue shot in super-8 and divided in three sections. Eschewing narration, the film is more of a poetic (rather than prosaic) documentary, conveying impressions through the aesthetic concept of yūgen (evocation by what is left unsaid).
Two guys, Nick and Dylan, set out to steal a gigantic diamond buried in the basement of a church.
