[ Story ]
Directorial debut for Sugino Kiki, who won the Rising Director Award for Taksu at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. Depicts the bizarre cohabitation of a lonely guy and a woman harboring a secret. Screened in the Asian Future section at the 27th Tokyo International Film Festival.
Socially inept college student Watabe (Miura Takahiro) meets Satomi, who is ridiculed for her large figure. Watabe doesn't laugh at Satomi's appearance, and she exploits his kindness by showing up at his place and mooching off him, and eventually she tries to take over his life.
