SYNOPSIS
Yui's relationship has grown cold. Her boyfriend forgets her birthday, leaving her to celebrate alone while he remains distant and indifferent. When her friend Aya drags her to see a fortune teller with a reputation for genuine insight, Yui finds herself facing uncomfortable truths about her romantic life and what the future might hold. What unfolds is a intimate portrait of two women confronting the messy reality of love and connection. The film balances sharp comedic moments with genuine emotional vulnerability, capturing the particular loneliness of feeling unseen by someone who's supposed to know you best. There's a warmth here despite the melancholy subject matter, grounded in the honest friendship between Yui and Aya as they navigate heartbreak and possibility.
