A young man and a young woman meet by the sea, their encounter captured through the delicate art of stop-motion animation. The characters, crafted from pasta, move through a world of quiet beauty and fleeting moments. The video is a visual interpretation of the song "Shiosai" by the band Seishun Midnight Runners, blending music and imagery to create a unique narrative experience.

Memories and emotions surface through their interactions, each frame meticulously animated to convey a sense of nostalgia and longing. The pasta figures, fragile yet expressive, bring a tactile quality to the tale.
As the music plays, the characters face the passage of time and the inevitability of separation. Their journey becomes a meditation on love, loss, and the beauty of transient moments. The video uses its unconventional medium to explore themes of memory and the enduring power of a single encounter.
