Story

A film about “being your own cheerleader” as a woman, uninterested in romance, seeks to find a life of freedom without outside judgement.

Kasumi is 30 years old and has given up on her dream of becoming a professional cellist. She is back to living with her parents and her grandmother, while working a boring job at a call center. Kasumi’s mother is desperate to marry off Kasumi but Kasumi has no interest in romance or marriage. Very few people seem to understand that Kasumi doesn’t feel lonely. One day, when she reencounters an old friend, she is given the strength to face the truths about how she wants to live her life. A humanistic drama that doesn't take conservative views on romance and values as granted and deals with a contemporary theme of trying to live a life with more freedom and less prejudices.

MIURA Toko, who played the driver in Drive My Car (2021, dir. HAMAGUCHI Ryusuke) and the winner of a Japan Academy Film Prize award given to rising actors, plays Kasumi. MAEDA Atsuko, formerly one of the main faces of popular J-pop group AKB48 and who is now an actor, plays Kasumi’s understanding friend. The director of the film, TAMADA Shinya runs his own theater troupe whilst also being known for his talents in making films that sensitively depict the psychologies of people in complicated human relationships.
