In a mosque in Tokyo, there is a multi-ethnic community of Muslims composed of both Japanese and immigrant peoples.
A person working for the mosque tells a history of how Muslim communities started and
settled, and also how they acquired a cemetery that allows them to bury corpses without cremation that is prohibited by their religious precepts.
During the filming process, Jinushi gets to know a particular and personal narrative about the interviewee’s family. His father-in-law is a famous avant-garde artist who has been active internationally from 1950s.
A birthday party for the artist happens at a museum. Attending the party, Jinushi sees a scene of the artist being celebrated for his 88 years old by his friends and families.
