在《夜鹰的单相思》中,我们 trace the transformative journey of Aiko Furukawa, a graduate student with an affinity for academic pursuits. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the subject of a sensational book about individuals bearing scars or azures on one side of their faces.
The book's popularity leads to its adaptation into a film, and Aiko crosses paths with the director, Itou Takeshi, through her friend who is an editor. Drawn by his professional acumen and unyielding respect for women, Aiko finds herself drawn towards him.
Simultaneously, she grapples with her own complexities as she navigates her relationship with this man who prioritizes work above all else. In the process, Aiko learns to confront her inner demons head-on and find her place in a world that often disregards female agency. This thought-provoking tale of self-discovery and empowerment is the second installment of the "Heroine movies" project based on Shimazaki Rin's novel, "Watashi-tachi wa Otona."
