Chiyoko met a mysterious man and kept a key for her. For him, Chiyoko disappeared. The man left her portrait at her house, and the man was arrested in a series of events that affected her heart, she chased his shadow... When she lost the key, she gave up and married another man live a quiet life. But after discovering that her husband was the one who hid the keys, she chased the shadow away again. When she lost her carrier of hope, she went into seclusion and lived in the mountains in isolation. Forget her husband, the people who love her, her career, her passion.

Chiyoko has been performing the drama of "seeking" all her life. Since her teenage years in the Mood for Love, her heart has been trapped by a mysterious man. Even if she never saw the man's face clearly, even if they only got along for a few days, even if the bond between them was just a key, all of this became a beautiful first love that affected Kadai's life. So Kayo willingly used his decades as a price to pursue that ethereal man whose life and death were unknown.
She is an infatuated and strong woman who has played many different roles. Whether it is a female samurai, a student, a nurse, a princess, or an astronaut, the lines she shouted out were her true confessions to the man who didn't even know his name. The copper key amulet is usually hung on the chest. She kept running and chasing, dreaming that she was running in different places, the woods, the promenade... Clear tears flowed down, silent dreams, hesitating and shouting. Is it here? Where exactly? Where are you from and where are you going? She opened her eyes wide and kept calling, waiting for an answer.

    Jin Min should be the director who played the most amazing time and space. A drama within a drama with a high degree of unity between reality and text, the thousand-year pursuit travels leisurely in multiple layers of time and space, connecting the changes of Japanese genre films. The only constant is that the footsteps never stop. No matter how many years have passed, I will never forget the chest vibration brought by "Millennium Actress". 2017.6.1 Archive film review.
