In the early 21st century, Ginei Studios' dilapidated buildings are set for demolition. To commemorate this occasion, filmmaker Genya Tachibana decides to create a documentary about Chiyoko Fujiwara, the beloved actress of Shouwa Era cinema. With permission finally granted to interview her, Genya brings along cynical cameraman Kyouji Ida to meet her and put his lifelong idol back in the spotlight once more. The secluded mountain retreat where Chiyoko lives holds a thousand years of history compressed into one lifetime. Her memories take them on an illusory journey through Japanese cinematic history, blending her acting career with her filmography, the people in her life with the characters she played, and the present with the past. Although Chiyoko retired from her career 30 years ago, the curtain on her life's stage has yet to fall.
