I’m always thinking that “I have no redeeming qualities”.

I have no redeeming qualities.
Last mock exam didn’t go well and also I’m not good at playing trumpet.
How can I play it better than my friend. I’m trying my best, but I’m not getting any better….

After school at music room. She has been bottling up her worries that she can’t concentrate on practicing trumpet.

I'm not really in the mood today. There he is, he always appears in front of me with such bad timing!

On the way to the school gate, the bicycle key dropped from the corridor’s window. Haruka picked it up and Shuichi came toward to her with running breathlessly.
Haruka just gives the key and leaving in a hurry. But Shuichi
flagged her down.

I’d like audience to pay attention to how the message regarding “not having any strengths” is conveyed which is never forced within the film. Visually, you can enjoy the pure relationship between the two lead actors and the care they put into their performances. Rather than the fast-paced social media videos or vertical short clips that are popular these days, this film is a lighthearted coming-of-age movie that invites you to take your time and watch it carefully. However, the way it addresses the “complex of feeling you have no strengths”—for example, a sports-club-style answer like, “If you’re going to overthink things, you’re better off just playing!”—or taking the easy way out by leaning the entire film toward elements like romance or club activities that viewers might be naturally drawn to at first glance. Instead, it adopts a sort of laissez-faire approach, suggesting that “the answer lies right there, as an extension of your everyday life.” I believe this is what makes this film truly unique compared to other coming-of-age films or social media videos. I believe that’s the advantage of the “short film” genre.
