This is a story of a physically handicapped but extremely well adjusted young woman named Noriko. The title role was played by Ms. Noriko TSUJI herself. The film begins with her telling her personal history in a high school classroom just before graduation. She talks about difficulties and prejudices she and her mother experienced when she entered a primary school. She was finally allowed to enter Sekidai Primary School by its head teacher who believed that she, having the disadvantage of lacking arms, had no disability. Since then her challenges started as to what she could do with her feet. Now employed in the Kumamoto Municipal office in Kyushu, this is her first professional position, and she carries it off with great skill.
