While clearing out the Paris apartment of her late daughter Kyoko, Akiko discovers two notebooks left for her. Her diary, kept since 1964. Entrusted with this strange legacy, the young woman decides to take her mother's urn back to Japan, to her maternal family, and discovers an intimate territory to which she unknowingly belongs. The film travels between two generations of women, from New Wave France to post-bomb Japan. As Akiko searches for a place to scatter her ashes, she retraces the steps of time and finds her place. Akiko, the heroine of this documentary, echoes her mother the actress, her mother the feminine icon of the Sixties. It is this dialogue beyond death that the film carries, just as it carries Kyoko's past and Akiko's destiny.
