Life in Overtime delves into the challenging post-retirement life of Sosuke, an elite professional whose prestigious career suddenly derails, leading to his transfer to a subsidiary. Work was Sosuke's entire identity, and now, facing an abundance of free time, he grapples with a profound sense of aimlessness and dissatisfaction. His constant complaining about his new reality gradually alienates his wife, Chigusa, who is busy and fulfilled with her own demanding career as a hairstylist. As the gap between their lives widens and their relationship strains, Sosuke feels increasingly lost. However, a transformative new encounter emerges, providing an unexpected spark that reignites his passion and gives his life renewed momentum, forcing him to redefine purpose beyond his past professional achievements.
