A woman in her seventies finds a guitar in a group home and decides the best use of her remaining time is to make noise with strangers. The concert on Christmas night isn't about redemption or second chances, it's about a body remembering what it once could do. Music doesn't fix what age has taken from her. It just proves she's still here.
Oyone moves into a shared home for older people and starts a band with her fellow residents. Their music builds toward a concert on Christmas night, and through that performance Oyone looks back on her younger days. The single-episode music short from 2022 was one of four films produced for the Anime no Tane 2022 program, which trains young animators.
