Deaf curler Sayuri Matsuhashi has a one-year-old hearing daughter with her deaf husband. She and her older brother, who is also deaf, won a regional tournament and became the first deaf people to qualify for the national competition, so she is busy training all over the country while raising her child. 

Including her honest feelings when she learned that her daughter was hearing, the film depicts a true picture of her as a deaf curler and mother through a year that had the unforeseen impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and more.
