Slightly future, in a room.

[Synopsis]
The story is set in near-future Japan.
As part of efforts to address the declining birthrate, experimental uterus transplants for men have begun.
However, the technology is still not widely accepted. It remains taboo for many people and is not well known.
The protagonist, Takashi, has received a uterus transplant and is carrying a fertilized egg for a couple he has never met.
One day, a man claiming to be the father of the child visits Takashi’s home.
I suddenly became interested in science fiction and decided to try making an SF film myself.
Personally, I see the reduction of gender differences through scientific progress as something positive.
