47-year-old Aso Toko is asked by her ex-husband Masaoka Ryosuke to take
their 17-year-old daughter Miu under her care because he is leaving for
an overseas assignment in London. Toko who had wanted to take custody of
her daughter, has her long-cherished wish fulfilled and her old friend
Suga Yohei is happy for her. However, Toko does not have the confidence
to live with Miu who is now a high school student. Although
Miu also has no intention of living together with the mother who had
abandoned her, the two of them meet again for the first time in 12 years
in order to have a discussion. On the very day that mother and daughter
are reunited, Miu’s impertinent behaviour angers Toko, and they reach
an agreement to live separately with Miu staying at a friend’s house.
However, Toko and Miu get trapped in the lift they took right after that
and then the lift suddenly plunges. The shock from this incident causes
their souls to swap bodies. As a result, the two of them have no choice
but to live together. They are forced to witness each other’s daily
life and secrets. While mother and daughter sling long-held feelings at
each other, they try to undo the situation through a process of trial
and error. With an age gap of 30 years, Toko finds it difficult to deal
with youth while Miu is bewildered by old age. And yet, they are one in
body and soul. Theirs is a delicate relationship. And then, the two of
them experience the tremulous excitement of love that is age
inappropriate. Before long, Toko and Miu get a better understanding of
being female and face what it is to be parent and child again.
