She leads a confident and independent life both privately and professionally. In contrast to her is the young actress Natsume Hyakuta, who is constantly having problems in her private and professional life in search of self-confidence and her own identity.
But that changes suddenly one day when Limi publishes a photograph of Natsume on Instagram.
