DIRECTOR’S NOTE
In Japanese society, sexual minorities are “not existing” unless they speak up for themselves. Same-sex couples are not allowed to marry under the law. However, we have been here in this world, now and then. This is a love story, a story of listening to the voices that are buried in the world.
