Alice returns to her rural hometown after spending ten years living in Tokyo. She begins living alone in her childhood home, a traditional Japanese house centered around an irori, a sunken hearth used for cooking and warmth. Adjusting to the slower pace of countryside life, Alice resumes her daily routines of cooking, maintaining the house, and reconnecting with the local community. Soon after returning, she reunites with her childhood friend Harumi, who visits her home and begins spending time with her again. As they share meals and conversations around the hearth, the two gradually rebuild their relationship after years apart.
