In 2017, a stage performance is scheduled in a small town. The young actors are to present British playwright Simon Stephens' "Morning" for the first time in Japan. The savage play has been attracting attention in the theater world for its story of a violent act by two best friends. The performance is suddenly cancelled, but one actress suggests they continue rehearsing. For a month, the young actors struggle between reality and fiction, as well as between film and the stage, and their story is captured in a single 74-minute shot. The music is played live in the film by rap group MOROHA. (Tokyo International Film Festival)
