A biopic based on the production of Daiei's Giant Horde Beast Nezura, the scrapped precursor to Gamera.

母を亡くして寂しい毎日を送る少年・透は、ある日浜辺で奇妙な卵からかえった子ガメを見つける。透はカメにトトと名付けて家に連れ帰るが、食堂を営む彼の家ではペットは厳禁。父に見つからないようこっそりとトトを育て始める。そんな矢先、なんとトトが空中に浮かび上がり、しかもその現場を年上の幼なじみ・麻衣に見られてしまう。彼女は、トトが33年前に人間を守った伝説の怪獣、ガメラの子どもではないかと言う。

Minako is at the age where her father is more like an alien to her than a person. The situation is exacerbated when he comes home drunk one night and tries to climb on top of her. Minako's mother deserted them for another man when Minako was a child. Now working as a hostess, she has little time for her own six year-old daughter, Yu, Minako's half sister. Both girls are yearning for their mother's love. Minako runs into Yu at a game center in the mall and proposes they take a trip. She changes out of her school uniform and into adult clothes and the pair hops on an overnight bus out of the city.
