[ Story ]
The first theatrical film directed by Kusaba Naoya, who garnered attention with Super Mikincorinista. The story depicts a protagonist who is lost in life amid the "29-year-old problem."
Yukiko (Yamashita Rio), an elementary school teacher feeling a vague sense of unease, avoids expressing her true feelings—whether communicating with a truant child or responding to her boyfriend's proposal—and finds herself unable to give a proper answer. She thought she could only express her true feelings when rapping, but when she unexpectedly participates in a rap battle, that belief is shattered, and she is left standing there, frozen.
