    The Lines That Define Me is a beautifully crafted film adapted from Togami Hiromasa’s novel, offering a surprisingly deep and meaningful story about self-discovery. With natural acting and strong character development, the film avoids clichés and instead focuses on emotional healing between two wounded souls. Visually captivating and rich in artistic expression, it’s a must-watch for cinephiles who appreciate films rooted in art and introspection.
