Kasane Fuchi is the daughter of a beautiful, legendary actress. Kasane has excellent acting skills as well, but she is not attractive. She has a hard time due to her unattractiveness. Kasane has a lipstick left behind by her late mother. The lipstick holds a strange power. Whenever Kasane applies the lipstick and kisses someone, she takes that person's face. Meanwhile, Nina Tanzawa is a beautiful actress with poor acting skills. She meets Kasane Fuchi and their fates change.
Kasane presents a dark and fantastical tale of identity-swapping through a mysterious lipstick, offering a unique premise executed with strong visuals and compelling performances, particularly by Tao Tsuchiya in a transformative role. Though the film leaves some questions unanswered—like the lipstick’s origin—and may confuse viewers with its constant role-switching, it rewards attentive audiences with a haunting story about envy, self-worth, and inner beauty. At its core, the film reminds us to be grateful for who we are and to value character over appearance.
