I Am What I Am 18

Thirty-year-old call centre worker Kasumi (Toko Miura, Drive My Car) dreams of becoming a classical musician. Pressured by her mother to find a husband, the reality is that Kasumi doesn’t harbour romantic feelings for men and finds true meaning in her passions.

After changing careers, she discovers what she truly wants, challenging traditional ideals of love and womanhood with the help of her own gang of unconventional friends.
