Kiyoko, a trans woman, returns to the house where she grew up after years with the decision to reunite with her mother, Izumi, a humble Japanese teacher. During that afternoon, the house becomes a magical place as they recover their memories, even though the mother can’t yet recognize her daughter.

After an unexpected visit, 84-year-old Nami opens up to her granddaughter Midori, revealing long-buried family secrets and childhood traumas from 1940s Brazil. At the same time, she watches her other grandson, Jun, become consumed by the hatred of political polarization. It's election day. Past and present, life and death, East and West, left and right all merge within this family, much like a moti, a traditional Japanese sweet.
