A woman sorts through memories of growing up: her grandmother's back, the loveliest part of her; a stranger who licked her belly after school; learning that you can write your grievance on a placard; Nishida, a dull friend from school. Sheltering in a shop from rain, she meets Izumi, who films the city and posts it online, including a protest led by a man wearing a dress.
