What Is The Projects About?

The premise of The Projects without spoilers.

Life in a suburban Osaka housing project is filled with everyday annoyances, from improperly sorted recycling to noisy arguments. Hinako and Seiji, an elderly couple who recently relocated after their herbal medicine shop closed, try to rebuild their lives, seemingly oblivious to the chaos around them. When Seiji mysteriously vanishes, rumors spread quickly through the building—ranging from divorce to something far more sinister. As the gossip intensifies and a peculiar man requests unusual remedies, a fantastic and unexpected truth emerges.
