We live in such a messed-up world where going to school and getting a job is mandatory, but living is not.
Seventeen-year-old Nila Izawa's life in small-town Japan is orderly, simple, expected.
On the walk home from school before winter break, Nila finally sees that she is crumbling under her mother's strict expectations, both of them fueled by resentment towards Nila's absentee father.
Nila reaches for the courage to break free, but her fear of failure is overwhelming.
