What it’s about. Zur Jahrtausendwende lässt das legendäre Filmstudio Ginei seine in die Jahre gekommenen Kulissen abreißen.

Gemeinsam mit dem Kameramann Kyōji Ida macht er sich auf den Weg zum abgelegenen Haus der mittlerweile über 70 Jahre alten Schauspielerin. Ein goldener Schlüssel, den die beiden ihr als Geschenk überreichen, weckt Erinnerungen an ihre erste Liebe, der in den Wirren des 2. Weltkriegs verschwand und den sie ihr Leben lang suchte.
