Overview
A young female director travels solo to Tokyo, where she accidentally meets an extravagant character, 63-year-old Yamada-San, who dresses like a woman and who was never accepted by society. The two of them only communicate through the camera and arbitrary translations of strangers, who overcome the fear towards Yamada-San this way, and so begins a chain of changes.
