Description
Yayoi, a 19-year-old woman from a seemingly loving middle-class family, has lately been haunted by the feeling that she has forgotten something important from her childhood. Her premonition grows stronger day by day, leading her to make a decision that will change her life forever. She moves in with her mysterious aunt, Yukino, who lives alone in an old gloomy single-family home. Yukino's unusual lifestyle is shrouded in mystery, and Yayoi soon discovers that she spends most of her time alone, clipping her nails, trimming her split ends, eating only when she feels like it, and watching old movies to comfort herself. As Yayoi navigates this new chapter in her life, she must confront the bitter truth about her childhood and the memories she thought she had left behind.
