In Japan, tradition dictates that children must remain with the father in the case of separation or divorce. Children are not allowed any contact \u2013 whether by mail, phone, or in person \u2013 with the absent mother until they turn 22 years of age.  With the help of a local veterinarian and an older childhood friend who has also lost his mother, Megumi learns to fight against tradition and establish her own independence.
