Summer 2020 in Tokyo. Miki is a woman who tells lies about her work and background while participating in English conversation cafes to satisfy her modest need for approval. Kenji is a young actor who plans to work in the US but is restricted from traveling there. The two of them hit it off and start playing a game where they visit English conversation cafes and act like different people.
There are two rules to the game. “Stay out of each other’s life,” and “Don’t lie in Japanese.”

MESSAGE FROM FILMMAKER
I hoped that I would create a “naive romantic comedy” set in COVID-19 disaster Tokyo in 2020, in a charming and endearing manner, while certainly reflecting society. This in itself could be a message of small hope and optimism for the world as well as Japan.
As a creator living in this era, I intend to put a little of that hope into this film.
I hope you will enjoy this tale of two charming people’s lies and truths, and that it will be a little bit of refreshment for you.
