The university life of KONISHI Toru (HAGIWARA Riku) is plagued by tedium. Struggling to find his place, his only joys are the antics of his classmate YAMANE (KUROSAKI Kodai), his sole friend on campus, and Sacchan (ITO Aoi), his musically gifted co-worker. Everything changes when Toru meets SAKURADA Hana (KAWAI Yuumi), whose appearance and fearless attitude towards solitude captivates him.
“I want to feel that every day is fun. I want to feel that today’s sky is my favourite,” says Hana. The words echo those once spoken by his late grandmother, for whom he carries a deep sense of guilt. Hearing it, he is swept up in the fortunate serendipity of finding someone who is so like-minded. But just as Toru starts to rediscover joy in everyday life with Hana, a shocking event strikes them both, transforming their destiny forever.
Acclaimed female director OHKU Akiko (Hold Me Back, JFTFP23; Tremble All You Want, JFTFP19) explores new horizons, delivering a beautifully captured, intensely authentic portrayal of contemporary youth and human connection.
