Synopsis

Kozue is (Esumi Makiko), a house-wife in her thirties. Before her marriage she had a promising career but once she got married she decided to quit her job and focus on her family. It’s now seven years later and Kozue and her husband still have no children and have drifted apart, communicating mainly through Kozue’s parents. Kozue decided to go back to work (against her husband’s wishes) and starts working part-time at her old magazine. It’s not easy, though. Her former subordinates are now her superiors and she’s been out of the loop long enough to have a hard time contributing worthwhile material. One rainy day on her way home from work she meets Takuma (Yamashita Tomohisa), a high school student and former competitive ballroom dancer. Because of a recently discovered heart disease, which he keeps secret from everyone around him, he is allowed no strenuous exercise and the dreams he’s put all his effort into achieving are now lost to him. He feels just as adrift as Kozue. They meet, sparks fly and they are unable to stay away from each other despite the many reasons they should.
