Synopsis
Art students in Tokyo navigate love, dreams, and self-discovery during their bittersweet college years together.
Back from a journey across Japan, Yuuta Takemoto reflects on the friendships and experiences that have shaped his college life so far. As he and his close-knit circle of classmates navigate the challenges of young adulthood, each member grapples with their own dreams, insecurities, and complicated emotions. Set against the backdrop of an art university in Tokyo, this gentle coming-of-age story follows five students as they explore love, ambition, and the bittersweet transition from youth to maturity. Through laughter, heartache, and quiet moments of growth, they discover that the path to finding oneself is rarely straightforward—but it's always better traveled together.
