[ Story ]

Film director Imamura Ayako who filmed herself wrestling with communication barriers in Start Line points the camera at her relationship with her friend in this documentary.
Full of discontent "me" (Imamura), the film director, and my friend "Ma-chan", who is unable to get along well with people because of her Asperger's Syndrome, sour our relationship over trivial things. I pointed the camera on our problems and turned it into a film. But is quitting being friends the solution we arrived at?
