He’s overwhelmed by the burdens of his daughter’s tuition fees, car inspection fees, and house renewal fees. One day, Koji receives a request to transport 85-year-old Madam Sumire Takano (Chieko Baisho) from Shibamata, Tokyo, to a nursing home in Hayama, Kanagawa. At first, the two are unfriendly to each other, but as they gradually begin to open up to each other, Sumire asks Koji to take her on a detour, saying, “There are a few places I’d like to visit before I leave Tokyo.” As they tour various parts of Tokyo, Sumire begins to talk about her own brutal past. This one-day journey will eventually have a profound impact on their hearts and their lives.
