Grandma Yasuda Yoshikage is old and frail, and has developed symptoms of cognitive impairment. Even getting out of bed to go to the toilet in the morning is difficult for her, yet she insists on living in her own house. Her life is divided into three types of days: days with home care, days at a daycare center, and days when her deceased son's wife comes to visit. She drifts in and out of consciousness, her thoughts swirling in a blur between reality and memory. As she gradually loses her ability to care for herself and approaches the end of her life, her thoughts leap and trace back, unraveling the past to discover the traces of happiness and despair, abandonment and protection in her lifeless existence… In her story, the sewing machine is about survival, and the goldfish symbolize love; the sewing machine gave her dignity and freedom, while the goldfish gave her the will to live.

安田佳景奶奶年老体衰,还出现了认知障碍的症状,早上从床上爬起来去厕所都很费劲,但还是坚持住在自己的房子里。她的生活分为三种日子:有上门护理的日子,去日托中心的日子,还有已经死去的儿子的老婆来的日子。她在现实与回忆的混沌里昏昏沉沉,絮絮叨叨,一面渐渐丧失自理能力、走向生命的终点,一面任由思绪跳跃回溯、将过去抽丝剥茧,察觉自己死气沉沉的人生中那些关于幸福与绝望、抛弃与守护的痕迹……她的故事里,缝纫机关乎生存,金鱼指向爱;缝纫机给了她尊严与自由,而金鱼给了她活下去的执念。
