Released on January 9, 2021, in Japan, the television movie Only Yesterday is a one hour and twenty-nine minute production. The story centers on Sugimoto Taeko as she moves in with her daughter Natsuki and granddaughter Mizuki, and the family begins a lively life together. While living together, Taeko sees her former self in Mizuki. As she navigates this shared life, Taeko recalls her elementary school days, remembering the bitter taste of the first pineapple she ever ate, a disastrous score on a math test, and the awakening of her acting spirit at a school performance. These memories from her past cause Taeko to unleash a dream that she had long given up on and sealed away, leading her to declare that she is going to be on stage. Taeko immediately auditions and devotes herself to rehearsing for a Shakespeare play, though complications arise concerning the theatre where she was going to perform.
