[ Story ]

Paris-based Hanno Yoshihiro, who has overseen the music for director Jia Zhang-ke's film among other Asian works, writes as well as directs for the first time this suspense-thriller. Aoki Munetaka from Rurouni Kenshin stars in a story intensely depicting the sins and absolution of a man and woman living as someone else.
Kenji (Aoki) lives a quiet life hiding his true identity. He comes to care for a mysterious woman (Ono Ito) and gradually, without having revealed who they are, the two become attracted to one another. However, a sorrowful fate awaits when each of their concealed pasts come to light.
