简介：Qiu and Naoko were childhood friends, but drifted apart as adults. Naoko, immersed in family life, now has a husband and daughter. Aki, on the other hand, is still single and taking a leave of absence due to a personal crisis. The plot may sound familiar, but it's never been told this way. Director Natsuka Kusano frames the interactions through the actors' lines, and as the lines are repeated, the scene gradually develops into live dialogue. Furthermore, she relocates the story's dramatic climax to the beginning: Aki murders Naoko's daughter. Kusano's bold film is structurally inventive, employing an "estrangement" effect to get to the heart of friendship issues as life settles down. While these repetitions convey the suffocation of character patterns in friendship and family, the lines left out or added are unsettling and remind us of the unexpected turns life can take.
