In a small Japanese village marked by tradition and limited progress, two young people, Aoi and Kaito, find themselves trapped between the desire for freedom and the weight of family expectations. Aoi is a high school student who feels that her life is mapped out by the routine of her home and the constant pressure from her parents. Kaito, on the other hand, has returned to his hometown after spending time in the city, carrying a troubled past that continues to haunt him.
