Filmmaker, Tsuki Inoue has chosen the subject of a woman who is about to enter "the fall of her life" or "old age" as her first feature film. When a very devoted nun turns forty years old, she experiences changes of her body as a woman and knows what is coming next. To deep and pleasant music, Inoue portrays how the nun thinks about her sexuality with a feeling of loss, and comes to accept a new way of living.
Starting with a beautiful scene of yellow autumn leaves, the audience experiences what the nun sees, hears, and feels; the tide of emotions she has never known before, as if they were in the film with her. It is a journey: when the nun goes outside of the church and touches the "external world," she encounters somewhat painful, familiar old yet indescribable sensations as if she had returned to her youth.

It's a comedy about a small ground of hip‐hop fans who live in the suburbs outside of Tokyo but dream of someday becoming famous rappers, even though they're kind of dorky and untalented.
This movie is about not hip‐hop as a popular culture of the youth in Tokyo, but the gap between ideals and reality of the youth who loves music and lives in countryside that is near to Tokyo.
Director Irie describes their complicated emotion in a realistic and cute way. Also this movie is for the people who live in countryside like a youth in this movie.
