Synopsis

Jeff, a young accountant, has never had a dream. He finally has one during a nap at work. It involves a wobbly looking woman who screams in Japanese, a large red bird and classical music playing in the background. Being his first dream, Jeff is convinced that it is a premonition of the future, and that the woman just might be the love of his life. He goes out into the world to find clues that will lead him to his literal 'dream woman.' There's one catch, however: he's already promised to take his grandma out of the home for a day trip, and she's not the cooperating type. His adventure takes him all over the city and back again, meeting a multitude of characters with their own dreams - or a lack thereof. With Jeff running into all sorts of problems during his seemingly impossible and hopeless task, it looks like he's heading in all the wrong directions. However, each move he makes sets into motion a sequence of events that will culminate where he least expects it...
