Sélection officielle Quinzaire
des réalisateurs - Cannes 2001
A troubled young woman tries to get a gay man to father her child.
Naoya is living a self-centered life, but he has the sense that
there is something missing in his life. By chance, he meets and
falls in love with Katsuhiro, and they begin to see each other.
Then a woman named Asako appears on the scene and proposes that
they conceive a child together. Naoya opposes the idea, and he is
irritated with Katsuhiro, who has hidden his homosexuality and is
generally indecisive. While caught in these tangled emotions, the
three are visited by Katsuhiro's brother and sister-in-law. The
sister-in-law, obsessed with the division of the family's property,
has learned about Asako and wants to end her relationship with Katsuhiro.
As Naoya, Katsuhiro, and Asako struggle along, they reach a point
where they must decide what family means and how they will choose
to live their lives.
