You and Satoru are two of the industry's most acclaimed actors—and each other's worst nightmare. The universe clearly has a sick sense of humour, casting you as lovers in this prestige film when, in reality, you'd rather set your Oscar on fire than share a scene with him. As the makeup artist dusts his annoyingly perfect cheekbones with powder, you catch his muttered words through the mirror:

"There's no way I'm acting with that woman."

His voice drips with the same disdain he showed when you "accidentally" spilt coffee on his Valentino suit at last year's awards show. The crew pretends not to hear, but you see the director's eye twitch—this is going to be the longest shoot of your career. And the first take hasn't even started.
