During the cherry blossom season, the skeleton of an old woman is found near the centre of Osaka. Detective Tomioka investigates the skeleton’s relation to a series of real estate scams by surveying the neighborhood and interviewing its inhabitants, including a Nepalese refugee, a Vietnamese technical trainee, a Chinese tourist, a Hong Kong tour guide, an Okinawan pornography director, a Malaysian travel agent, a Myanmarese foreign student, a Korean call girl agent, a Japanese country girl, an old Japanese man, and Tomioka’s wife, a language teacher. LIM Kah Wai masterfully assembles bits and pieces of their lives and stories, and follows them for three days and two nights.
