Synopsis
Teacher's soul-searching journey across Japan leads to mysterious encounters and supernatural phenomena upon returning home.
Satoru Sakuma, a reserved school teacher, finds himself at a crossroads when his marriage begins to crumble. Seeking escape from his troubled home life, he embarks on an impulsive journey across Japan, wandering from city to city in search of meaning. During his travels, he encounters a mysterious high school girl who seems hauntingly familiar, as if pulled from his recurring dreams. Upon returning to his hometown of Odawara, Satoru begins to confront the choices he's made and the life he's been living. As he attempts to rebuild what was broken, strange occurrences begin to unfold around him - including the appearance of a new transfer student who carries herself with an air of knowing more than she lets on. Meanwhile, an unusual phenomenon begins to spread across the country, one that may be connected to Satoru's recent journey in ways he cannot yet understand. This introspective tale explores themes of regret, second chances, and the delicate threads that connect our past to our future, as one man struggles to find his place between duty and desire.
