- A photographer (Machiko Ono) and a filmmaker (Naomi Kawase) challenge each other to shoot--one to photograph the other to film--two young actresses, one from Tokyo, the other from the countryside. The photographer seeks naturalism in his compositions, and Kawase observes and comments on his work. The competition between the photographer, the filmmaker, and the actresses creates a charged atmosphere.
- Naomi Kawase raises her voice in anger, blaming her foster mother for threatening to abandon her as a young girl. The camera reveals Kawase's impatience when coming to terms with her foster mother's senility, and at the same time dwells on her aging naked body with a subtle sense of affection. Twelve years after shooting 'Katatsumori (1994)', her first film about the foster mother, Kawase made 'Tarachime' to document the decline of one life at the beginning of another - during the making of the film, Kawase's son was born.
- Kawase tries to come to terms with her late father, whom she never knew when growing up, and contemplates getting a tattoo like his.
- The director agrees to film the last days of her chronically ill friend, the photographer and film critic Kazuo Nishii.
- Thirty-year-old Hako unexpectedly discovers she has a father that she never met, while he records the moment live on camera. Unexpected emotions, bitterness, and forgiveness rise to the surface in the unscripted scenes between them.
