## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Meiji autumn meets a manga heartbreak as a student burrows into a mismatched couple’s polite silence only to find their honeymoon photos hide a single, unspoken scar. The film treasures its quiet devastation carried by an actor who looks like he could break in half. A 1955 shōshimin eiga etched in modest close-ups.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, slow-burn, tender
