SYNOPSIS

Screenwriter Ryosuke is devastated by the sudden death of his fiancée, Aya. Unable to work or function in daily life, he clings to the past, repeatedly watching old footage of their time together. One day, his younger sister takes him out, and Ryosuke begins to “witness” cherished memories of Aya—words once spoken, feelings left unsaid, emotions that drifted apart. As these moments replay, he gradually begins to face his grief and reconnect with what was lost. In the end, he makes a quiet yet powerful choice. A story where past and present, loss and rebirth gently intersect.
