The film tells a story about family and love. 17-year-old Yuko Mori (Nagano Yayu) is a senior high school student whose mother died when she was young. After that, Yuko was continuously foster-raised, having three fathers and two mothers (Rimei Ishihara played the stepmother), went through seven family morphological changes, and even changed her name four times. At the same time, she also experienced the hardships of growing up from an ignorant teenager to an independent woman. She got the best love by passing on the baton of love between unrelated relatives. This story presents the current situation of an unrelated family that is more common than "the Thief Family" and "like a Father like a son". It makes people think about the meaning of family: even if we are not related by blood, we can still be happy.
