It was a part-time job at the local life extension zoo that introduced Ryota, who was in the old friend's room, without relying on his parents' home. While working with the director Noda and veterinarian Aya Ishii, Ryota knew that this is a rare zoo in the world that puts emphasis on “animal welfare” that puts animal health and happiness first. However, the management of the garden is in a critical situation due to the budget reduction, and Ryota decides to draw a comic again to convey this effort with her own picture...

Sawaki Tatsuya is a fledgling photographer. He returns to his hometown Fukuoka to take care of his sick father Hideo, but is rejected by his father. Tatsuya meets Jinbo and Yui, who work as mediators between Japan and Nepal. He joins the Nepalese community through them, and while his world expands through these encounters, he also learns of the difficulties of foreigners living in Japan. Shot in the town where many Nepalese actually live, this drama casted authentic epalese as actors. The title “Masala” refers to a mixed spice, and is also used as a metaphor here for the diverse society.

In the movie, the characters face new questions and challenges in an original story that celebrates each of their individual passions and preferences. A chance encounter with openly gay college student Igarashi Daichi begins to shift 52-year-old Okita Makoto’s outdated “Showa-era mindset” toward a more modern Reiwa-era perspective.

Their daughter Moe stays active in the BL fanfiction scene, while their son Sho has returned to school after embracing his love for makeup and cute things. Though each member pursues their own passions, family life appears harmonious.
