Wakae, a 15‑year‑old living with an alcoholic father and stepmother after her mother’s death, spends her nights in a rundown bar, drinking and smoking alongside the local drunks. Isolated and without anyone to confide in, she finds an unexpected spark of hope when her childhood friend Saburo reappears, bringing warmth and a chance for connection.
