But Emi still believes that she is no ordinary person. She still believes in miracles. She is not going to change. Some day she will be transformed into someone really special.

Emi, a struggling, nearly 30-year-old actress, returns to her hometown for the first time in twelve years. While on the surface all seems to be as she left it, the truth is her childhood friends have grown into responsible adults forcing Emi to confront realistic matters - marriage, pregnancy, economic hardship, and aging. Still, Emi remains convinced that she is unlike the others and that the miracle she has believed in since her younger days is still just around the corner.
