Hard Nights

Aon, 54, a cartoonist once famous for his work "Kittima, the Magical Girl of the Enchanted City," is facing a vulnerable period in his life. His career is failing, his health is declining, and his relationship with his 55-year-old marketing professional, Jira, is showing signs of nearing a dead end. The days of laughter have gradually faded, and accumulated stress is causing Aon insomnia. A fortune teller even predicted that this year would be a year of "breakup" in his life.
