マーケティングリサーチ会社で働く佐藤(三浦春馬)は、劇的な出会いをひたすら待っている。ある日、仙台駅前で街頭アンケートを取っていると、多くの人が立ち止まってくれない中で1人の女性(多部未華子)が快く応じてくれた。佐藤は、親友の「出会いなんてどうだっていい、後で自分の幸運に感謝できるのが一番だ」という言葉を思い出す。

Seven women aged between 40 and 80 join the Leaf-Watching & Grand Mythical Waterfall & Hot Spring tour. The women chat, pick berries, take photos and generally enjoy themselves as they follow their unreliable guide to the waterfall. Then the guide disappears, leaving the women stranded in the woods. Thrown into an experience far removed from their ordinary lives, they become reflective. An open casting call was held to search for seven women over the age of 40. Acting experience was not required. Director Okita's screenplay comes to life when the cast's unique presence and talents combine with the characters.

Touch not the Outsiders, lest ye become an Outsider. But when two creatures belonging to opposite kinds - a lost little girl from the Inside and a demonic beast-looking Outsider - initiate an impossible coexistence on the same side of the forest, their bond seems to transcend their incompatible natures and the unnamed curse that has divided the world. Based on Angouleme-nominated, eponymous best-selling graphic novel by manga artist Nagabe.
