Laala has a bright and cheerful personality, and is often seen bouncing off the walls. As her house is a restaurant, she has a habit of saying her informal catchphrase Capisce! (Kashikoma!) when taking requests. Laala has a very loud speaking voice which she is very conscious about; when she is singing, she tends to be very quiet due to this. It seems that she can only gain the courage to sing loudly when performing in PriPara.

The plot focuses on Laala Manaka finding out about Saints' top idol journey, and aside from the PriPara performances, the movie also features the journey of characters across all the Pretty Rhythm series.

At some point in the movie, the characters are given a choice of four doors to go through. At this point, the movie diverges into one of 4 routes depending on what the audience chooses. Each route recaps different aspects of the previous Pretty Rhythm series, mainly reintroducing the different characters and their performances. However, Laala and friends only get a chance to enter one door at a time, meaning the film must be watched four times to view each door choice.
