Spoilers ahead

When a murder occurs and the police find no clear hole in the main suspect’s alibi, the investigation stalls and nerves tighten around the case. In a quiet neighborhood, Yasuko Matsuyuki plays Yasuko Hanaoka, a divorced, single mother who runs a small restaurant and is trying to keep life steady for her teenage daughter Misato. Nearby, the reclusive yet brilliant mathematics teacher Shinichi Tsutsumi—Tetsuya Ishigami—lives a careful, almost ascetic life. His morning exchanges with Yasuko at the restaurant, through which he buys lunch, are described as the brightest part of his day, a small, human anchor in a world that otherwise moves by the precise logic of numbers.
