Fujiwara Chiyoko was once a major movie star who dominated the Japanese cinema world. Thirty years ago, she abruptly disappeared from the screen and from public view. One of her greatest admirers, Tachibana Genya, a documentary filmmaker, has traveled to the isolated mountain lodge where she makes her home to interview her. He presents her with an old key that once meant everything to her, and as if that key had opened a door to her memories Chiyoko starts telling the story of her life, interweaving moments from her past and future and passing through the boundary between reality and the movies that had made up so much of her life, guiding the audience through a millennium of Japanese history.

Tsukishima Shizuku, a middle-school student and bookworm, is surprised to find out that a number of books she borrowed from the lending library (where her father works) show a notice that one certain Amasawa Seiji had borrowed all these books just some weeks before her. While trying to find out who this guy might be, she has to face the challenges of growing up, be that at school, with her best friend's first love or being respected by her older sister and parents.
