Puzzle piece by puzzle piece, a fantastic detective story unfolds where a soon-to-be bride disappears, and the subsequent investigation reveals her true self and shocking past.

Hasegawa proposes to Ichiko. She is happy and moved but disappears the next day, having seen something on the TV news. The ensuing investigation reveals that Ichiko does not exist in any official records. With the help of clues and witnesses from a (very complicated) childhood and upbringing, the image of the real Ichiko gradually emerges, broken and with dreams that have faded and darkened as fate has taken its toll. In this adaptation of his own play, Akihiko Toda manages to involve us spectators in the thrilling investigation. Direction and cinematography are of the highest caliber, as is Hana Sugisaki, one of the most talented actresses of her generation.
