Storyline

A victim of bullying, timid boy "Ryota" encounters a clone of "Ryota," who is somehow more cheerful and energietic than "Ryota". What would happen when these two who shouldn't have met each other and are not suppose to meet other, actually meet with each other...!

Seven days before graduation, high school student Ryota was seriously working on composing a love note to Mizuki, the madonna of the school, to tell her his feelings... This is a scene from the everyday life. But by a mere accident, he found out he is a clone. Furthermore, he found his life will only last until the day of the graduation. Ryota runs away from the school which is only a laboratory. The place he comes to is a building identical to the school he had been trapped in. He stands still on the rooftop of the building. Suddenly, a boy only wearing his underwear and looking identical to him appeared in front of him. The original Ryota.

Plot

The leading role is played by Aran Shirahama, a member of the GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE. It was his long-sought dream to take a starring role in a film. It was a difficult double role, but he plays the characters of a clone and his original. He also gorgeously unveiled himself just in his underwear! Other actors and actresses include Rio Yamashita, Nobuyuki Suzuki, Kazuki Namioka, Suzunosuke, Yuichi Haba and Itsuji Itao, who are all young proficient talents and uniquely styled for this movie.

Now the whole world is paying a great deal of attention to iPS cells. This is a story that awaits us in the near future with this discovery. Through the encounter with the clone and his original, the director looks at how one should live the time left in their life and how to decide with a life so short, while the other starts to have the courage to live differently from the past and take the first step on his own path. This is a young-adult fantasy taking place in school, portraying the never-changing purity and earnestness of youth along with a near future world.
