A story of love between three people, each searching for a way to live alongside the ones they love.

Me, my husband, and her. I thought the three of us could become a family.

Picture book author Uta Kojima (Masami Nagasawa) and insurance agent Morio Kojima (Tasuku Emoto) have been married for three years. Though Morio doesn't know it, Uta is lesbian. She feels lukewarm about Morio's suggestion to start having children, while secretly continuing her romantic relationship with Junna Kuramochi (Shizuka Ishibashi), her book editor. Neither giving up one of them nor having a baby with Morio feels right to her. Pressed to choose between her husband and her girlfriend, Uta comes up with an unexpected idea: "What if the three of us had a baby together?" Though initially bewildered by Uta's sudden proposal, Morio and Junna agree, and their life as a trio begins. As they live under one roof, the dynamic among them gradually shifts?until Junna discovers she is pregnant...

A tender story of love about three individuals struggling to stay true to themselves while finding a way to live with those they treasure. This is the second feature film by director Nanako Hirose, who served as an assistant director under Hirokazu Kore-eda and Miwa Nishikawa before making her feature directorial debut with His Lost Name starring Yuya Yagira. Spearheaded by Hirose herself through planning and writing the original screenplay over many years, this ambitious project brings together top-tier Japanese actors and a Taiwanese production crew.

The soundtrack is composed by HIMI, an active singer-songwriter and actor. His refreshingly nostalgic, low-fi sound wraps the clumsy yet charming daily lives of these three characters in a unique atmosphere and a soothing lingering vibe. Includes the insert song "AISHITELL."
