Miyuki (38 years old), who has a daughter, Nozomi (5 years old), with cerebral palsy and is a caregiver, is the only one who can take care of Nozomi, and she has to take care of everything in the house, including nursing care, housework, and child rearing. Miyuki, who has been trapped, asks her mother, Yoshiko ( 65 years old ), who lives in Oita and whom she has not seen for many years, for support. She said, "There is no way I can raise a child like that by myself! We have our own lives to lead! Miyuki, who had made up her mind and asked for help, found her mother's words cruel. Miyuki, who was under invisible stress, suffered from "masked depression," suffering from insomnia and an eating disorder, although she appeared to be in good health. In the midst of these exhausting days, Miyuki is struck by the thought that she would have been happy without Nozomi, but the next moment, the words of Omori (83 years old), who lives in the same apartment complex and has always been like a mother to her, come to her mind. It's not Nozomi's fault. It's not Nozomi's fault, everything depends on me. With this thought in her mind, Miyuki started to write a novel to regain her dream of becoming a children's writer and to live her own life again. As soon as Miyuki became positive and decided to get out of the darkness, a new ordeal came her way. Her mother suffers from both dementia and depression.
