My Boy
Satoko Tawada's life at thirty is uneventful, as she remains single, stuck in a tedious job where her ex-boyfriend holds the title of her boss, and her free time lacks any excitement. Seeking solace from work, Satoko retreats to a park at night where she unexpectedly encounters Mashuu Hayami, a twelve-year-old boy who accidentally kicks a soccer ball towards her. Expressing her disappointment towards Mashuu for being out so late, Satoko soon discovers the young boy's passion for practicing soccer under the night sky. Recalling her experience with her university's futsal team, Satoko takes it upon herself to mentor and ensure the child's safety. As their bond deepens, Satoko's maternal instincts are awakened, and she becomes emotionally attached to the child. Unfortunately, not everyone approves or comprehends their unconventional relationship.
