Description:

A determined 26-year-old woman, fueled by big dreams of becoming a famous writer, leaves her snowy countryside home for Tokyo in winter. Confident her strong will can overcome anything, she expects success. However, the bustling city presents unexpected challenges. Meanwhile, a fellow 26-year-old, a scenario writer from her hometown, also navigates Tokyo. He achieved early fame after moving five years prior, yet now finds himself at a standstill, lacking the grand aspirations of his old friend. Neither finding much luck in their careers or love lives, their paths dramatically cross one winter day. This chance reunion forces them to confront the difficult reality of being 26 – a pivotal age where abandoning old dreams feels impossible, yet forging new ones seems equally daunting. Together, they might rediscover what truly matters.
