Other name:

Description:

Undulant Fever is a poignant romantic drama that delves into the complex boundaries of intimacy and unrequited love. The story begins in high school, where Emiko and Yo meet as members of the newspaper club. After sharing an impulsive first kiss, they unexpectedly have sex. This defining moment sparks a repetitive cycle; whenever they meet, Emiko demands physical intimacy, even though they share no romantic relationship. As years pass, Emiko moves to Tokyo and works at a flower shop near the building where Yo lives while attending university, desperate to stay close to him. While their physical relationship continues, the emotional distance grows wider. Emiko increasingly struggles with a profound sense of hurt and rejection, realizing that physical closeness cannot bridge the gap of emotional isolation. This raw cinematic narrative beautifully captures the ache of longing for someone who is physically near but emotionally out of reach.
