Naoko und ihre Tocher Monami wollen zu Verwandten fahren, doch unterwegs hat der Bus einen Unfall, bei dem beide schwer verletzt werden.. Sie kommen ins Krankenhaus, wo die Mutter bald stirbt, ihre Seele wandert jedoch – und zwar in den Körper Monamis. Dies erfährt auch der Vater/Witwer, und schon bald erkennt er, daß die Geschichte wahr ist, denn er erkennt im Körper seiner Tochter seine Frau wieder. Es gibt nur ein Problem: Das normale Eheleben kann nun nicht mehr wie vor dem Tod seiner Frau weitergehen, zumal die reife Frau im Körper eines Mädchens sich nach anderen Männern umschaut, die noch nicht einmal richtige Männer sondern noch Jungs sind – passend zum Alter ihres Körpers eben.

Unfortunately, I didn't think Ryoko was particularly doing his best here (the difference between daughter and mother, aside from a few very distinct gestures – like scratching her father under the chin – and the outfit, just wasn't visible at all), and unfortunately I just wasn’t impressed with how good she looked. Moreover, I found the film incredibly long and almost about nothing, I felt absolutely nothing from it; and that's a mistake, because the situation at hand is, after all, very psychologically challenging, isn't it? It's just that I didn't get that from their performance at all. The other weakness was that I kind of knew what was going on the whole time and how it was going to play out. And it actually did. EDIT: I went to see this in the cinema as part of Prague’s Eiga-sai film festival. I have to raise it by one more star – good subtitles really do work wonders. Or maybe it was the big screen. Anyway, I found it a bit better than the first viewing, though it still felt a bit too stretched out.
