The premise of the story

Yu Higashi is the main protagonist of the Trapezium anime film and dreams of becoming an idol. She decides to dedicate all her energy to achieving this dream. This decision involves not being on social media, not having a boyfriend, not making any friends, and not standing out in any shape or form beyond her main goal.

As one can imagine, this journey leads her to experience a great deal of frustration and loneliness. Furthermore, the story also sheds light on some of Higashi's main insecurities, which are highlighted in the novels when she meets other girls.

Considering the length of the light novels, there is a good chance that the film will remove some plot points.
