A widower, Aoyama, is driven by his son's suggestion to remarry years after his wife's death. He confides in his film producer friend, Yoshikawa, about his loneliness and desire to find a new partner. Together, they devise a plan to hold a staged audition for a non-existent film to meet women, giving Aoyama the opportunity to find a prospective wife. As they carry out the faux auditions, Aoyama becomes enchanted by a seemingly innocent and reserved former ballet dancer, Asami, who stands out among the applicants with her grace and vulnerability.

Transfixed by Asami's charm and quiet demeanor, Aoyama begins to court her, ignoring Yoshikawa's warnings that something about her past doesn't quite add up. Aoyama grows increasingly enamored, failing to notice the subtle hints of Asami's dark and complex personality. Their relationship progresses, but as Aoyama delves deeper into Asami's life, he discovers unsettling fragments of her history that raise questions about who Asami truly is. Despite the red flags, Aoyama's emotional investment blurs the lines of rational judgment, leading him down a path of intrigue and potential danger.
