| Poverty, an unsympathetic society and suspicion of neglect. Caught in a negative spiral, Aoyama Sara, a single mother, cannot stay in a job for long. She is also forced to live apart from her daughter Moe who has been taken away by her foster mother Saeko. Sara believes she can make a fresh start in life if only she has a lump sum of money. One day, she meets a woman at a train platform. This woman looks like Sara and this shocks her. But in the next instant, the woman throws herself in front of a train with a weary expression on her face. Amidst the ensuing commotion, a stunned Sara gets hold of the bag left behind by the woman and leaves the train station.
