On a frosty New Year's Eve, Izumi finds his mother wandering in a park. It is one of the first days when Yuriko begins to forget her son.

At the same time, he revisits childhood events, particularly the haunting memory of Yuriko's sudden disappearance. Gradually, he uncovers the silenced truth about the past. "One Hundred Flowers" is an intimate family story that highlights how dementia is a distinct and painfully personal experience for each of the millions affected, as well as their loved ones.
