Synopsis
Two queer women—Keito and Aya—struggle with assigned gender roles and marriage, seeking to reclaim their authentic identities.
"Maybe I could have chosen something different..." Keito is an office worker in her late twenties preparing for marriage as a woman, despite not feeling aligned with a specific gender or sexuality. Meanwhile, Aya is a married woman in her fifties who continues on as a wife in a marriage that has gone cold. They both struggle with the gender assigned to them at birth and a wife role that has become nothing more than a charade. This is the story of two queer people who question the way they have been pushed into a normalized box as they try to reclaim their true selves.
