A bold adaptation of Koharu Kisaragi's play of the same name. Four girls in a high school drama club try to put on their first play, "DOLL", but it doesn't go well because they have many differences. This 102-minute film follows the emotional trajectory of the girls as they hurt each other, come to believe that no one needs them, and end up committing suicide. The truth of these four people, who tried to live pure and beautiful lives, is heartbreaking.

Ikuko's mother died two years ago, and since graduating from high school she has devoted herself to housework as a housewife, cooking dinner and waiting for her father. Although she is no longer a child, she feels an irresistible sense of loneliness when she realises that her former boyfriends and friends have started to go their own ways. But this is her night alone. The light of the moon and the vision of her mother surround her gently as she weeps. The film looks at a woman, but without a story, carefully capturing the inner world of a girl with dense and beautiful images. The title "Lacrime" is Latin for "tears".
