Aika, the protagonist of this film, isn’t portrayed as a perfect athlete. She’s a regular teenage girl carrying the weight of daily pressures and expectations. As she journeys through time, she encounters women from different moments in Japanese history, each facing their version of these challenges.

Through these powerful encounters, Aika begins to see that the pressure she feels isn’t hers alone; it’s been shared by generations. But sport becomes her outlet and her breakthrough. As she moves forward, she finds strength in the footsteps of those who came before her.

The film builds to a moment of empowerment, where Aika, uplifted by the voices of the past, chooses to live boldly and on her own terms.
