Plot
Michi Yoshino, a 32-year-old woman, has been in a sexless marriage with her husband Yoichi for two years despite otherwise maintaining a normal relationship. After a failed attempt to rekindle intimacy with her husband, Michi confides in her coworker Makoto Niina, who reveals that he is also in a sexless marriage. The two develop a close bond through their shared frustrations and begin to rely on each other emotionally as their respective marriages continue to deteriorate.
As Yoichi becomes distant and later commits an act of infidelity, he attempts to repair his relationship with Michi, but their emotional disconnect remains. Meanwhile, Makoto's marriage to his career-focused wife Kaede also grows increasingly strained, and he confesses his feelings to Michi, though the two hesitate to begin a physical relationship. Faced with the consequences of their actions and feelings, both Michi and Makoto decide to confront their spouses and reevaluate their marriages.
