A lonely boy collecting not only objects but also their voices, lives with four musicians and two Venus’ Flower Basket Shrimps in his ear. Growing up, he becomes a hearing aid's salesman and no longer picked up lonely objects and their voices. One day, fascinated by a handmade bird brooch saw on the TV news that was found in a Japanese American internment camp, he set out on a journey to collect lonely voices again. What would he find there eventually?
