SHORT MOVIE CRASH 2nd CRASH is an anthology of three short films, each born from a collaboration between a filmmaker and a music artist, exploring connection, loss, and the search for hope. #1: Peaceful Days, Miraculous Sunlight — Saki returns to her hometown in Tottori after giving up her dream of becoming a model. Feeling she has nothing left to look forward to, she reunites with Mami, an old acquaintance who now walks with crutches. The encounter helps Saki rediscover the value of the quiet, ordinary life she once took for granted. #2: STAND ALONE — A man faces a difficult situation that forces him to confront his relationships and past choices, exploring isolation, human connection, and the struggle to find his own way forward. #3: Staying Close — A young woman's life becomes intertwined with those around her, revealing the importance of having someone beside you in hard times, and the quiet support people offer one another.

Two young men, one an aspiring idol and the other struggling to find his place, reunite and set out to transform their small town, leading to a chaotic yet soul-searching summer.
