32-year-old Yamaguchi Rika works for a record company. She has the worst birthday of her life when she is invited to a meal and cheated of her money by her useless ex-boyfriend, Suzuki Masao. When she returns home from his apartment filled with regret, an outlandish older woman dressed in a leopard print dress suddenly appears in front of her with white smoke. This older woman identifies herself as Rika from 20 years into the future. She laments her untimely death, which was caused by losing her footing on a beer bottle at a pub. She has come from the future in order to make a fresh start in life and insists that Rika stop associating with Masao. At first, Rika does not believe her. But when Rika from the future correctly guesses the things to come and announces that she will die like this at age of 52 at the pub she is supposed to run in the future, Rika is shaken. Together with her future self with a despairingly different style and appearance, Rika begins a big battle to start life over again. |
