Mikami, an ex-yakuza of middle age with most of his life in prison, gets released after serving 13 years of sentence for murder. Hoping to find his long lost mother, from whom he was separated as a child, he applies for a TV show and meets a young TV director Tsunoda. Meanwhile, he struggles to get a proper job and fit into society. His impulsive, adamant nature and ingrained beliefs cause friction in his relationship with Tsunoda and those who want to help him.
After thirteen years behind bars, Mikami enters a world that has moved on without him, searching for a mother he barely remembers. This quiet character study finds profound beauty in the friction between a man's criminal past and his desperate attempt to find a place in the modern light.
