Sinopsis
"Maybe I could have chosen something different..."
Keito is an office worker in her late twenties preparing for marriage as a woman, despite not feeling aligned with a specific gender or sexuality. Meanwhile, Aya is a married woman in her fifties who continues on as a wife in a marriage that has gone cold.
They both struggle with the gender assigned to them at birth and a wife role that has become nothing more than a charade. This is the story of two queer people who question the way they have been pushed into a normalized box as they try to reclaim their true selves.
