Naomi (Maho), like many teenagers, spends more time thinking about her possessions that the people in her life. When her mother leaves the family, however, her father decides to get Naomi out of the city for the summer. He sends her to the country, to work in her aunt and uncle's restaurant. While there, she reconnects with an aging neighbor, Mrs. Koide (Yoshie Minami), with whom she played with during her childhood summers. As she spends more time working hard and talking with Mrs. Koide, she also learns a great deal about life and herself.
