    • Synopsis
    • The strange story of two women who find themselves living together: a shy author named Makio Kodai (Age 35), and her niece, Asa Takumi (Age 15).

      It all starts at the funeral for Asa’s parents, who died in a car accident. When Makio hears her relatives callously arguing over who’ll be forced to take the now-orphaned Asa in, she explodes with anger and says she’ll take the girl in herself.
      But the shy Makio quickly has second thoughts about living with another person, and Asa starts to get worried. Living together naturally causes each of them to touch the unhealed wounds inside each other, and as time goes on they begin to face the scars from their past.

      This popular story has attracted a great deal of attention from both the media and various awards. At its core, it has the theme of “Two people can never truly understand each other,” a theme that resonates with people of all genders and generations. It shows us a form of kindness that the world needs right now.
