Synopsis
Widower Takumi reunites with deceased wife through magical picture book promise during rainy season.
A year after the death of his beloved wife Mio, Takumi continues to raise their young son Yuji alone, finding solace in a homemade picture book Mio created before her passing. The book tells a fantastical story about a special place where the departed live on in memory, and of a promise to return when the rains come again. When the next rainy season arrives, something extraordinary occurs that challenges everything Takumi thought he knew about life, death, and love. As he navigates this impossible situation with his son, Takumi must confront his own grief and guilt while rediscovering what it means to truly connect with someone. This gentle tale explores themes of loss, memory, and the enduring power of love across seemingly insurmountable boundaries. (Source: ANN)
