A brief snapshot in time of two strangers in some city, sometime, somewhere in the world. Yumi is a sixty five year old Japanese woman who goes about her daily feeding ritual 'carp, pigeons' in her local park without interruption, without direct sunlight, and without change. Jorge is a sixty year old council worker who eats with his mouth open, longs to relate, and isn't too shy to lick his fingers. One day Jorge joins Yumi on a park bench uninvited, disrupting the stillness of her world. And won't leave.

 On the most important night of her life Asha is suddenly left with no dress, no make-up and no ride to her Formal. Reluctantly, Asha accepts the help of her eccentric father, who with the assistance of the local neighbourhood, prepares her for her Formal. A flustered Asha is ready to go but her taxi is nowhere to be seen, forcing her to ride in her father’s trash collecting truck. During the long and painful journey Asha realises something about herself and her father.
