Le documentaire se présente comme une exploration approfondie du vieillissement, de l'identité et de la recherche du bonheur au sein de la communauté LGBTQ+ au Japon. Il aborde des questions auxquelles sont confrontées les personnes âgées de cette communauté, telles que la discrimination en matière de soins de santé et de logement, et la lutte solitaire pour la dignité dans une société qui n'a que récemment commencé à reconnaître leur existence.
