She became 50 without becoming anyone's mother or anyone's wife, remaining a daughter.
Sumako Kari, who depicted her 40s in "Ashita Shinu Niwa,"
presents a life story of her 50s to women grappling with the anxieties of "aging."

32 years after moving to Tokyo at 18—
Yoko, 50, decided to quit being an "unsuccessful actress" and return to her hometown of Fukuoka.
No money. No stamina. No perseverance. She faces the reality of being "50 and unemployed."
Amidst this, encounters with the friendly landlord's son, Kaisei, and colleagues from her part-time jobs lead to a "new development in Yoko's life."

Quitting her job. Leaving Tokyo. Giving up on something.
—This is a story about me, who never became anyone, discovering a new self.
