A cliff-hanging romance about a lonesome 31 year-old woman named Mitsuko with a counselor in her head called "A." She        enjoys her lonely, yet relaxing self-sufficient life, but after falling in love with a younger salaryman, Tada-kun (Kento Hayashi), her state of mind changes. Mitsuko is on the verge of breaking point as she cannot confront this unexpected love bravely like she  would have in her 20s. Anxious and disturbed as she listens to the stable advice in her head from "A", she decides to face the    love that comes her way.
Women around the same age can empathize and agree with the MItsuko's feeling of being satisfied being alone and the           occasionally feeling of deprecation that are often depicted in this film.  Without thinking, you being to cheer on her clumsy      character and can't help but cheer on the birth of this new kind of "lovable lonely heroine"!
