Invisible People is a multi-layered depiction of the unique Japanese contemporary dance Butoh that flows between revolt, eroticism, trance, prayer, ancestral experience, and physical anonymity. The film gradually drifts away from its core issue and becomes a general portrayal of life itself, with all its unforeseen strokes of fate and strange micro-connections.

Set in Tokyo 7 years after WWII, a 9 year old boy wanders into a strange mansion. Confined inside are four adults suffering from an incurable disease, which prevents them from having exposure to the sun.
