Before mobile phones became popular in Japan, a love story played out beneath the dim light of a utility pole on the outskirts of the city. The focal point of the narrative is the forbidden romance between Elemi, the electricity-transmitting pole, and a human. Their relationship is shrouded in secrecy, as any interaction between humans and poles is strictly prohibited. Despite this, Elemi summons the courage to reach out to Mr. Takahashi, an electrician, with whom she has developed a strong connection. Their love, however, is exposed, and Elemi is hauled before the court to face accusations of taboo love while whispers of their forbidden romance ripple through the town.
