The World Premiere in Competition at the 37th Tokyo International Film Festival

Based on the acclaimed debut novel by one of Japan’s most distinctive comedians, this poignant coming-of-age drama explores the quiet struggles of a generation shaped by social media, self-consciousness, and the fear of revealing one’s true self.

Konishi, a university student trapped in an uneventful routine, finds his life transformed after meeting Sakurada, a young woman whose gentle outlook on life rekindles his appreciation for the beauty of everyday moments. As their unexpected bond deepens, both begin to embrace the world around them in new ways. But just as hope begins to blossom, a shocking event changes their lives forever.

A tender and emotionally resonant story of love, loss, and human connection, the film celebrates the quiet courage it takes to keep moving forward.

Director  Akiko Oku
Cast Riku Hagiwara, Yumi Kawai
