About This Movie

Mitsuko, stuck in this mundane routine, creates a stark contrast with Eiji's flashy world, showcasing how his attempts to mold her clash against her intrinsic desire for simplicity. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, making you feel her internal struggle. The performances are understated yet effective, particularly Mitsuko's, carrying the weight of unfulfilled dreams. What stands out is the way it paints a raw picture of modern relationships, capturing the nuances of attraction and repulsion. It doesn't shy away from discomfort, leaving you pondering long after the credits roll.
