Since her husband passed away 20 years ago, Tetsuyo has been living on her own. Despite being over 100 years old, she manages most of her daily business herself and has never lost her infectious zest for life. Over a two-year period, she shared tea and stories with documentary filmmaker Kazuhiro YAMAMOTO, who created a touching portrait of growing old.
