Middle-aged Hideo lives alone with an inflatable doll he calls Nozomi. The doll is his closest companion: he dresses it up, talks to it over dinner, and has sex with it. However, unbeknown to Hideo, Nozomi was created with a heart. After Hideo leaves for work each day, Nozomi dresses in her maid's outfit and explores the world outside their apartment with a sense of child-like wonder. She encounters various city residents who metaphorically are as "empty inside" as she is. When Nozomi meets Junichi, who works at a local video store, she falls in love with him and gets a part-time job at the store. She learns about the world through the movies she watches with Junichi, but her happiness with him is interrupted by a dramatic turn of events.
Director Koreeda has stated that the film is about the loneliness of urban life and the question of what it means to be human
