Description:

"Maybe I could have chosen something different..."

Keito is a late-20s company employee who's planning to get married as a "woman," despite not feeling cemented into a specific gender or sexuality.Meanwhile, Aya is a married woman in her 50s who continues playing out the role of "wife" despite being in a marriage that's long since gone cold.

They both struggle with a gender that was decided upon birth and the "wife" role that became nothing more than a pantomime at some point.

This is a story of two queer people who harbor doubts about how they've been treated and shoved into a "normalized" box, and try to take back their true selves.
