A woman named Futaba, single-handedly raising her teenage daughter Azumi, learns that she is diagnosed with advanced cancer. She decides to use the last few months of her life to improve the life of her family. To do this, she returns to the house of her husband, who went to another and was in turn abandoned with a little daughter in her arms. Together they reopen the family bath, which will provide them with a comfortable life.
