Quarantine. People locked in their homes. Terrified. We follow a girl during her everyday life. She goes out alone or sits at home doing...nothing. We hear her thoughts, her concerns. A species of people that had disappeared makes its reappearance. They are called "passers-by" and they scare her. In fact, she meets one of them during a walk. He doesn't see her.
