A day in the life of Ako| a 16 year old Japanese girl| and her friends and co-workers. An alarm clock wakes her in a dorm; she gets ready for work and travels to a large bakery. We see her with friends| chatting and laughing| as well as working. They go out| seven of them jammed in an old Pontiac: bowling| then to an amusement park| then driving around. Car trouble may put her at risk. Is she going to be okay?
