Takako still lingers in the past after a sad incident from high school days, and she has never gone home. After struggling with her past, she decides to go home for the first time in 30 years. While going home, she remembers going to traditional cinema house every week with the best friends to see musical movies and chatting at taiyaki cafe after school. She also remembers she had a crush on a college student. She is stuck by nostalgia. But what awaits her back home is sad reality and separations...
It's a moving story you can't see without tears.
