Lonely Playground

Keisuke works at a Chinese restaurant near a train station, harboring a quiet attraction to the refined salarymen who pass by each day. One rainy night, a coworker urges him to offer an umbrella to an office worker sheltering beneath a nearby overpass. When Keisuke approaches the man, he is startled to find him in tears. The stranger, Yukifumi, reveals that he has just been abandoned by his partner of seven years—a man who had secretly been married throughout their entire affair. Yukifumi confesses that he remained under the overpass simply hoping someone would come along. Recognizing an opportunity for a fleeting connection, Keisuke offers himself as a source of comfort to the heartbroken man. What begins as a spontaneous encounter between two strangers quickly spirals into something far more complicated when Utsugi, Yukifumi’s former lover, unexpectedly appears the following day. His sudden arrival forces all three men to confront the tangled emotions and unresolved attachments left in the wake of betrayal.
