The story focuses on Arata, a 27-year old recently unemployed shut-in, who meets Yoake, a representative of a social reintegration program called “ReLIFE.” The program allows Arata to appear 10 years younger and repeat high school to change his circumstances by taking an experimental drug. The experiment only lasts for a year but gives Arata a chance to decide his future.

The film will premiere April 15, 2017.
