Plot
Yuichi, a middle-aged businessman who has been down on his luck lately, finds himself lost on the road. Unable to call his home or office from an old roadside phone booth, he tries to contact a friend he has not spoken to for years who works at a hospital in the area. His friend talks about meeting a woman that Yuichi knows died that very day 30 years ago, and he is left perplexed. He later calls the number again from work and reaches his friend’s mother who tells him that her son died five years ago! Thinking that the old phone booth could somehow help to warn his friend of his impending doom and that of the woman, Yuichi heads back to the old roadside phone booth to try and change the past.
