Synopsis

Sisters Ume-san and Kame-san have lived in the same house all their lives. Having reached the twilight of their years, they still lead a very active - if eclectic - routine. Every morning, they get up and eat breakfast. Then they head out into the neighborhood scavenging for junk. When they find items they like, they bring them back to their cluttered dwelling. There, they clean them, catalog them, and file them away for later. When they stumble across a basket of red yarn one day, they delight in the discovery. But after bringing it home, they fail to recognize something - there is a literal string attached. On the other end is Aonamishi, a frightened girl who incessantly knits a body length sweater out of the wool. After she's done, her disgust with the results has her screaming in agony and feverishly working to refashion the garment. This goes on for months, and Ume and Kame can't stand the havoc it wrecks. Not only does it try their patience, but Aonamishi's presence seems to evoke painful memories of the past - issues apparently buried in every piece of garbage in their home.
