Ikuko's mother died two years ago, and since graduating from high school she has devoted herself to housework as a housewife, cooking dinner and waiting for her father. Although she is no longer a child, she feels an irresistible sense of loneliness when she realises that her former boyfriends and friends have started to go their own ways. But this is her night alone. The light of the moon and the vision of her mother surround her gently as she weeps. The film looks at a woman, but without a story, carefully capturing the inner world of a girl with dense and beautiful images. The title "Lacrime" is Latin for "tears".
