Synopsis

Ruriko, a cold beauty who cannot express her feelings properly, and her earnest husband Satoshi have been together for 3 years, but the seemingly perfect couple feels that their relationship is getting distant. There is only silence and polite exchange of smile between them. The tension in the household is extreme, and it is hard to breathe. When they each have an encounter with a passionate youngster who approaches them forwardly, it seems only natural that they fall for the young lovers who bring in freedom and life.
From a best-selling novel from Kaori Ekuni and starring top actors of the generation, the film depicts the most fragile sensitivity in relationships and little lies that can fix one's feelings.
