SYNOPSIS

One day, Mizue's hands and feet suddenly start moving on their own and she starts to play pranks. She is scolded by her violin teacher and treated coldly by the mother and child anchovies at the aquarium... Mizue is confused by her own alter-ego who behaves as she pleases. Just as the fortune teller predicted, Mizue meets the boy she loves, but she is at the mercy of her alter-ego and doesn't know how to open up to him. "If you don't open up to him soon, another girl will take him." Who on earth is that other girl? Ah, I'm starting to lose track...there are so many of me inside me. Where am I really? This unique work expresses the beautiful and uncertain story of first love as a girl transitions from a girl to an adult through dance and theater.
