JM, a young Japanese man, leads a solitary, uneventful life in Tokyo, his only company a couple of rare snakes. He dreams of owning a very special car- a 1967 Citroen DS. Via the Internet, JM makes contact with a seller, and flies to Australia to close the deal. When he arrives, JM finds the man and his wife dead, and a young blind girl, BG. The car, BG explains, was not actually the dead man′s to sell - but, she adds, she can take him to meet the real owner. JM agrees, and together these two isolated souls embark on a journey that takes them deep into the Australian outback and into their own pasts. For BG, it means recalling her troubled family history. For JM, it means entering an alien landscape, a harsh and frequently hostile world - all the while fleeing a painful memory that forced him to leave Japan. Before long, their separate quests become one: a shared desire to transcend the past and find redemption.
