A woman's return to her rural hometown after years abroad sets off a scandal when her past profession as a stripper is revealed, sparking outrage and controversy among the community.

Kin Aoyama, a stripper known as Lily Carmen, leaves her small hometown to start a new life in Tokyo with her composer boyfriend Haruo Taguchi. She sends money and gifts back home to her poor farmer father, but he's unaware of her occupation. After a week-long break, Kin returns home with her friend Maya, and they put on a show, revealing Kin's profession to the town. The event sparks a divide between those who embrace their flashy city ways and those who are scandalized, including Kin's father and a schoolteacher.
