Living in a city of 35 million people, Kumiko feels desperately lonely. Tormented by her loneliness, Kumiko lives a daily life full of resentment towards a dead-end job, a demeaning boss and a nagging mother who bothers her because she is still single. But things change the day she watches a scene from the Cohen brothers’ Fargo where a man buries a suitcase full of money in a remote and wintery place in the United States. With little more than a handmade map, Kumiko embarks on an epic and unusual journey to the frozen plains of Minnesota to rediscover her fortune.
