How it feels
An elderly woman who runs a liquor store in Tokyo moves in with her son after a small fire. She feels out of place and often visits a friend to complain. When her friend dies unexpectedly, a postcard inspires her to take a solo road trip in her late husband's Mini Cooper to revisit her childhood home and a lost love. Along the way, her son and a young couple from the future join her, creating strange and uncertain circumstances.
