For years, Misa (KAMISHIRAISHI Mone) has struggled to hold down a job due to her debilitating PMS. When she quits her latest job after a shameful outburst, she finds new employment in a small, quiet company that assembles children’s science kits. There, she meets Takatoshi (MATSUMURA Hokuto), a young man in a similar situation due to a severe panic disorder that causes him to have frequent panic attacks.
They clash at first due to Takatoshi’s anti-social and standoffish nature, but soon discover that they’re better together than they are apart. Sharing in mutual understanding of their struggle to mentally and physically function “normally”, the two develop a unique and precious companionship.
Featuring an empathetic focus on PMS rarely found in film, director MIYAKE Sho (And Your Bird Can Sing, JFTFP20) constructs a detailed character study with utmost grace and humanity in this gentle, thoughtful and heartwarming drama.
