During a fierce storm that causes a blackout at the hospital, Fujiko gives birth to her daughter, Mari. But her joy is short-lived.
Subjected to harsh treatment by her husband Jiro’s family, Fujiko is devastated when Mari is kidnapped by Jiro’s relatives. With the help of her own mother, Chiyo, Fujiko regains her child. Against the advice and judgment of those around her, she chooses to raise Mari as a single mother.
Fujiko embarks on a tumultuous journey, chasing the freedom and vitality she has always longed for. She refuses to surrender to societal pressures, surviving with humor, resilience, and grit. This film portrays the dynamic, sometimes chaotic, yet heartfelt story of Fujiko and Mari—capturing the struggles, joys, and unbreakable bond between mother and daughter on their rollercoaster ride through life.
