A Korean film director, Kim Tae-hoon plans to shoot his new film in a small local city called Gojo, Japan. He travels with his assistant director, Park Mi-jeong to do research prior to scriptwriting.
They travel through and interview residents of several villages that are declining. However, most of the residents say there is nothing special about Gojo.
Along the way, Kim and Park meet a municipal official, Yusuke, and a middle-aged man, Kenji, and are deeply impressed by their stories. The night before director Kim is to leave Japan, he has a strange dream and wakes up in the middle of night, looking up at the night sky in Gojo.
