Plot Synopsis

The story begins with Natsuko, who unexpectedly loses her husband. Amid her grief, a mysterious girl appears before her, claiming to be a magician who can grant her four wishes. As Natsuko yearns to turn back time to 1970, she embarks on a journey filled with self-discovery and truth, uncovering the realities of life during a time when Japan was thriving. The question lingers: what will Natsuko find in this nostalgic era, and will she achieve her heart's desires?
