The story

What Is Jujuba About?

The premise of Jujuba without spoilers.

A tired man, 27-year-old Ayumu Ueno, prepares for a reluctant journey home and reaches for a cigarette. Instead, he finds a jujuba fruit in his pocket, triggering hazy recollections of Rèn Shìróng, his second mother. Born in Sichuan, China, she cherished these fruits, and Ayumu, hesitant to call her "Mom," affectionately nicknamed her "Sis" at his father's suggestion. Through the jujuba, past and present intertwine, blurring the lines between reality and memory, and exploring the complexities of family relationships.
