This multi-generational human drama unfolds within the traditional Japanese art of rakugo, a form of comedic storytelling. The narrative centers on an ex-convict whose life takes a significant turn through his apprenticeship with a renowned storyteller. It also features Konatsu, a character who aspires to perform rakugo but faces societal barriers as women are traditionally excluded from the craft.
