Synopsis
1985 Nagoya family, "Cactus Girl" Yuuko, finds love and bonds amid cacti-filled suburban life.
Summer, 1985. The 7-person Iemura family lives in the suburbs of Nagoya. Due to the father's hobby, the family garden is filled with cacti, and eldest daughter and 6th grader Yuuko is nicknamed the "Cactus Girl." Despite her complaints that her father doesn't care for the family, they nonetheless live peacefully, with friendship, bonds, and love emerging from their trivial incidents and nostalgic daily life.
