Highschool graduate Natsumi lives in a provincial town with her estranged mother, working an unfulfilled job at a supermarket among gossips of conservative townspeople. The latest gossip revolves around Keiko, an attractive young woman recently relocated from Tokyo. Natsumi is drawn to Keiko and the two strikes up a friendship, finding relief in each other from the repressive community. Through Keiko, Natsumi discovers her own voice and agency, eventually fighting back against the prejudices and injustices society heaps upon women. Produced by KOREEDA Hirokazu, MATSUBAYASHI Yuui’s short is a beautiful story about the solidarity of women set in the everyday.
