Summary
Cherry, a female anthropomorphic creature made of red yarn, must embark on a larger than life adventure.

Plot
At the opening of the film, an old woman is seen looking out her window, before she adjusts a picture of a baby and picks up a ball of yarn.

As she proceeds upstairs, a lone ball of yarn rolls out of shot. Cherry, a female anthropomorphic creature made of red yarn, then walks into shot, and is looking around in wonder at the environment.

Through various picture frames in the house, Cherry can visit environments that were significant in the home owners' lives, and discover their memories about the places; the initial memories are happy, such as visiting the sea shore, or hiking in the mountains, but eventually darker memories are revealed: the rural forest area is industrialized, which in turn causes accidents with toxic waste, and people start moving to the city. A memory also reveals that the old woman's husband died from a heart attack.

During her journey, Cherry finds a red yarn badge it collects on the cover of a photo album in the house, which then fills with photos of the memories encountered along the way.

However, on the last two environments, Cherry only finds one half each of a heart-shaped badge. On the final environment of the journey, in a cemetery, Cherry struggles her way through a snow storm to find the final half of the badge, but it slips from her hands, and jumping after it, Cherry unravels completely, with only a red thread of yarn remaining in her place. The badge piece is then picked up by a human hand.

Cherry awakens in a camping backpack, holding the missing piece; she quickly runs home to place it on the photo album. Startled by a child entering the room, Cherry feigns to be inanimate again, and once the child leaves, Cherry places the missing piece on to its final place on the photo album cover, which it then opens up to reveal the final passage and the end credits roll.
