She feels a sense of discomfort at any given moment.

The way someone looks at her, the way she acts, the color of her nails peeling off.

Through a series of small choices, Aki begins to ask herself, "How can I live up to someone's expectations?

Can I continue to live my life according to someone else's expectations?

Short film "Quiet Ripples" (approx. 10 min.)

Masato has been working with people's bodies and minds for more than 30 years as a gynecologist.

As he has dealt with the pain and lives of many women, he has also continued to ask himself the same question: "Who am I really?

Who am I really?

He has a genuine desire to understand women's pain.

However, he is always confronted with the boundary of "sex that cannot be crossed.

Furthermore, the distance between him and his mother casts a silent shadow over his inner life.

Masato has lived a somewhat suffocating life with his heavy body and emotions, and the social roles of "doctor," "man," and "father.

He chose to be photographed nude in his "female form.

The act of taking off his role in front of the lens one by one was also a small journey for him to reexamine the unconscious boundaries that had bound him and "redefine himself.

Through the expression of becoming nude, this film carefully depicts the changes in the mind that waver between the gaze of society and one's sense of self.

It is a quiet story that will be close to all those who are questioning what their "true self" is.

- Starring: Takeshi Ijuin

- Themes: Gender Dysphoria, Relationship with Mother, Liberation from Roles and Redefinition of Self

- Feature ：Scooping up inner changes and the blank space of the mind with poetic images and tranquil direction
