タコのしてん, a japanese short film about communication.

これはタコさんの日常の物語。スマートフォンの画面を見ることでしか逃れられない、満員電車と混み合った駅のプラットホーム。コンビニエンスストアの仕事に彼は退屈していた。コピー機の前で暇を潰したり、ネット上の他人と話したりする方がまだ良かった。仕事から帰ると、ソファで冷たい弁当を食べ、窓から隣のマンションを眺めた。そのマンションにのりこが住んでいた。タコは会ったこともない彼女のことを、なんでも知っているように思っている。夜な夜なのりこを観察するうちに、彼は更に彼女にのめり込んでいく。夢と現実が混ざり合うような日々が続き、ある日彼女が彼の前に現れる。

IMPORTANT:
THE SHORT FILM WILL BE IN JAPANESE (Script is in Japanese language).
The Crew is from Japan.
I dont speak japanese, therefore the following information in english. I am very sorry :)

english:
We dive into the everyday life of Tako. Overcrowded suburban train‘s and countless people at railway stations from which you can only escape by focus your smartphone. Tako's job at the „QuickMart“ Convenience shop bores him. He prefers to spent countless moments at the magazine shelf to read. He spends the rest of the day with cold food on his home couch and at the living room window, from which he can look straight into the apartments of the neighboring house. Here lives Noriko. A woman Tako never met but believes he knows everything about. During his nightly observations Noriko becomes a phantasmic obsession. Dreams blurred with the reality until Noriko one day stands right in front of him.

The charakert Tako:
Katsumi (Tako-San, 23) is an intelligent but unpretentious
young man who commutes back and forth between work and
home. Most of his time he keeps himself in virtual parallel
worlds, whereby he can elude from reality. He is passive and
introverted – certainly his imagination is quite vivid.

The charakter Noriko:
Noriko is a young woman who is self-conscious, curious and has a soft spot for strange things. Because we know her through the eyes of Tako, Noriko‘s character has two sides. On the one hand, Tako‘s fantasy, in which she fulfill his imagination. On the other hand her real straight character which Tako not always
understands.
