Synopsis
Two social outcasts with parasites in their heads fall in love while helping each other reintegrate into society.
The story is about a man whose compulsive tendencies make it impossible for him to keep a job, and a young girl who skips school and loves insects. The two meet, come to support each other in reintegrating into society, and fall in love. There's a problem, however: namely, the parasites in their heads. (Source: vgperson)
