Mari is a mother who has raised her son Hajime all on her own. Overwhelmed by daily chores and work, she has almost no time for herself. Her only pleasure is browsing mail-order catalogs. One day, as she flips through the catalog as usual, a stunningly beautiful orthopedic lingerie catches her eye. Struck by its elegant design, she desperately wants to own it. She reaches toward a box she always keeps carefully stored away. The box is labeled "Hajime's New Year's Money," and she ends up stealing the savings inside. This act brings an unexpected change into her otherwise ordinary life.
