In a quiet Japanese village during the autumn season, the life of the Kobayakawa family intertwines with the arrival of harvest time, revealing family dynamics and hidden tensions. The story revolves around a mother, her husband, and their three children as they face the challenges of rural life and the generational changes that shake their home.
The mother, a woman of strong character and traditions, strives to keep her family united, while her husband, a man who has seen better days, grapples with his own insecurities and frustrations. Their children, on the other hand, represent different visions of the future: the eldest debates whether to follow the family legacy or seek new opportunities in the city, the middle daughter tries to find her place in a world that feels increasingly alien, and the youngest is the spark of hope that keeps warmth in the household.
Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings, the film explores the changes in Japanese society and the internal struggles of a family that, despite their differences, attempts to find their way in a constantly evolving world. With a touch of melancholy, but also moments of warmth and humor, this story is an intimate portrait of family life and the seasons of love, sacrifice, and the search for identity.
