Synopsis
Risa and Takumi were born and raised in Kanazawa at Japan. They’ve been dating for a year and a half, and they turned thirty years old. Parents and relatives half-heartedly encouraged them to live together. So they decided to live together. As they began to think about marriage and shared time each other, they gradually noticed a certain gap in their relationship. Risa’s feelings change by an incident with Mako, a female friend with whom Risa had consulted about marriage. What is being myself? What is the form of happiness?
