A melancholic, introspective drama about a marriage fractured by unspoken desires and hidden secrets, exploring intimacy and disconnection in contemporary Japan.

It was a pre-destined love and marriage for Sonoko and Tetsuo. They tied the knot and became husband and wife no questions asked. All is well then. Well, perhaps not. Each holds a secret that even the binds of matrimony cannot untie.
