It was love at first sight for university student Suzuki (Shota Matsuda) when he met Mayu (Atsuko Maeda) at a group date he wasn’t even meant to attend. Never popular with the girls, he is surprised when Mayu talks to him. The feeling seems mutual but Suzuki goes out of his way to win her over – from changing his clothes to drastically losing weight. After graduating, Suzuki takes up a job at a local office in Shizuoka. However, he gets relocated to the head office in Tokyo.
Suzuki is determined to carry on his relationship with Mayu. However, the long distance between them, the lack of communication, and the attentions of an attractive co-worker eventually take their toll. Is Suzuki’s first love worth saving?
Set in the 80s and told from a male perspective, this film is unlike your average relationship drama.
