- Synopsis
- Koharu and Ayano, both 27, share an apartment alongside a cherry tree-lined river right around the corner from downtown Tokyo. They work hard, play hard, and don’t need to think hard at all, as long as they’re having fun.
  Change comes to their lives when Ayano suddenly becomes pregnant. She’s not sure who the father is, but decides to give birth nevertheless. Koharu also makes up her mind, to stay by Ayano’s side and support her.
  The pregnancy gradually transforms their pleasure-seeking lifestyle and inseparable nature. Activities they took for granted become difficult. Ayano has no choice but to evolve, while Koharu struggles to adapt.
  Following 10 months in the lives of these two young women, this film explores emotions that we all experience, such as yearning for the past and anxiety about the future, as seen through the filter of pregnancy.
