The third feature film by director Yuho Ishibashi, known for 'Goodbye' and 'When Morning Comes, I Feel Empty.' This human drama follows a woman in her 30s, stuck in her career and love life, as she reexamines her way of living by relying on memories of her first love from her student days. Misaki, a 32-year-old working in Tokyo, feels uncomfortable at the company she has worked for for many years and quits, returning to her family home without any clear prospects for the future. Attending a local class reunion, she learns that her first love from her school days has already passed away. This event gradually reawakens the memories and emotions that had been frozen inside Misaki. The screenplay is written by Naho Uemura, noted for 'Ichiko,' 'Crescent Moon and Cat,' and 'Zakken!' The lead role is played by Rei Okamoto, who is widely active in films like 'Tea Drinking Friends,' as well as dramas, commercials, and stage. The film brings together three women of the same generation—Okamoto (born 1991), Ishibashi (born 1990), and Uemura (born 1988)—to delicately weave a story about the anxieties of a woman in her 30s about the future and her encounter with past memories. The cast also includes Koki Osamura, Akane Sakanoue, Mari Hamada, Hideko Hara, and Mitsuru Hirata.
