Parasite in Love

Loneliness finds its match in the unlikeliest of ways—through two people terrified of human contact. Kengo, a germaphobic office worker, and Hijiri, a teen with a fear of eyes, tentatively build a relationship that requires them to overcome their deepest anxieties. The film gently suggests that love might not cure anything but showing up—awkwardly, messily—is a start.
