A blind girl faces a series of hardships — poverty, discrimination, the death of a friend, and more, but she never gives up hope. To make a living, Fumiko (Riko Suzuki), who is around 10, is apprenticed to a masseuse. While coping with intense training, Fumiko also studies braille. Based on a true story about Kiyo Awazu (1919-1988), a blind woman who devoted her life to the education of blind children.
