This movie is based on Arita porcelain and its kiln. Yui, a 14-year-old girl, lives as a single-parent family with her father Nobuo and her grandmother. Painting pictures with various colors is the only way for Yui to be herself. She never opens up to her father or friends in her day-to-day life.

Twenty-five-year-old Momo has friends. Her parents live some distance away, but they sometimes get together to dine out. She dates an acceptable guy, and they share drinks at home. She apologizes to unreasonable clients over the phone at work and hones her ability to keep things civil with coworkers at drinks after work. This perfectly ordinary life means Momo doesn't immediately notice a nagging feeling: "I want to die." For her, it's a phrase she must never say aloud. One summer, unable to bear the thought of the coming Monday, Momo takes a day off from work. She begins to visit other people who struggle with thoughts of suicide, but have discovered alternatives and choose to live instead. She connects with these "Papagenos" through social media. Over the course of her difficult journey, Momo herself begins to discover other choices beyond death.

In a fading village in the Japanese countryside, the school is about to be closed, which weighs heavily on the students.

A girl starts running in a different direction from everyone else. If you have friends who run with you, you'll find the courage to keep running.

Their parents are dead. They should be sad, but they can't cry. So they form a kick-ass band. This is the story of four 13-year-olds in search of their emotions.
