The extroverted Gyotaro is “special”. The awkward, eccentric Tsubasa is “different”. Despite their differences, the schoolboys quickly form an inseparable bond…until it is shattered by the incident. A stunning portrait of the loss of innocence, Kohei Kadowaki’s feature debut is a tender, bittersweet, yet existential exploration of childhood camaraderie, cruelty, and alienation.  

Three decades later, Gyotaro and Tsubasa—now men—are forced to reunite and confront the past that has haunted them since that fateful day, provoking a journey that seeks to confront complicated, lingering feelings of resentment, pain, and belonging that has haunted their consciousness ever since.
