Shiori's husband decides not to attend a workshop he was supposed to attend with his wife. Shiori asks Junnosuke, a fill-in introduced by Shiori's colleague, to join the workshop as her acting husband. Satisfied with Junnosuke, Shiori secretly rents an apartment and begins a pseudo-marital life with him.
Double Life, a gentle and ironic drama, unfolds through the workshops and modern dance. In this subtle, candid, bold debut, filmmaker Enen Yo explores the unique Japanese custom of renting a substitute person for important events in someone's life, a plot twist that helps Shiori gain a new perspective on herself and others.
