Released for the franchise's IMAX movie event, the film is directed by Izumi Todo. The events of the film are set in modern-day Japan and star Suzuko Mimori, Yuka Iguchi, and Kana Hanazawa, the members of Devidol in the roles of three women of different backgrounds who grew up watching the Pretty Cure series. The film was first screened at the 35th Tokyo International Film Festival on 2022 before later being released to the general public on 2022.

Part 1
The film is centered on three women who grew up watching the Pretty Cure franchise in their childhood: Aira, a 24-year-old college student whose parents are pressuring her to become a teacher; Shima, a 27-year-old career-oriented office worker returning from overseas; and Hana, a 22-year-old freeter. Aira is concerned about Yuki, a student at the special educationschool she interns at; despite having her dream job, Mire frequently gets into conflicts with her manager, Miyao; and Reika's boyfriend, Seiya Kubo, keeps stealing her savings for college. One day, Aira becomes curious when she hears rumors about an Asian-style building located in Tokyo that served as the basis for the Pretty Cure Land, a magical land featured in the Pretty Cure franchise. When she visits, she meets Shima and Hana, who explore the building with her. That evening, the women bond over having watched the Pretty Cure series when they were younger and the magic crystal toys from the show. The women return home, but keep in contact.

As their daily lives become stressful, Aira invites Shima and Hana to visit Aichi Prefecture for Golden Week. There, the women go sightseeing in Osaka, the location where the film Pretty Cure All Stars DX3 takes place. At night, while discussing concerns from their daily lives, Reika confides in them that her father left after her parents divorced when she was in high school, with her mother dying two years later. Hearing this, Mire suggests Reika make a wish on her magic bead to reunite with her father. On the third day of their trip, while the three are in a hospital, Reika sees her father with a new family of his own, and he pretends he does not know her. She becomes angry at Mire and returns to Onomichi alone. That night, Shima stays at Aira's house and reflects on her actions after watching episode 19 of Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart, where Cure Black and Cure White get into a fight. She then personally goes to Osaka to apologize and manages to find Hana's apartment through the okonomiyaki shop that she works at. Upon finding Hana, Shima saves her from the villains when they extorted her for money. The two restore their friendship as Hana reveals that her magic crystal was given to her by her father.

Part 2
Tired of being treated poorly at her job, Shima decides to quit and later learns that her co-worker, Ryūji, has feelings for her. Meanwhile, Aira manages to help Satoshi successfully and becomes encouraged to study for her teaching exams. By summer, the three women go on a trip to Nara and Kyoto, where two episodes of Yes! Pretty Cure 5 takes place. While on the train, the women befriend Yuki, a college student, and after noticing he has a key-holder of Shiny Luminous, they discover he is also a fan of the Pretty Cure franchise and he comes along their trip as their guide. Aira falls in love with Satoshi and confesses to him during their final day in Kyoto, but he rejects her. Despite this, at night, the three women realize the importance of moving forward, which they have understood since reconnecting with the Pretty Cure series. Together, the three make a wish upon their magic crystals, inadvertently casting transformations, and come to the conclusion that that they have magic in themselves.

Three months after their trip, Aira, Shima, and Hana rent the building in Tokyo to open it under the name Pretty Cure Land as the culmination of all their dreams combined. They see a silhouette running in the halls in the process, and after giving chase, they find all the girls and the fairies from the Pretty Cure franchise.
