A tender, melancholic fantasy about grief and healing, where a miraculous second chance allows a grieving father and son to process loss through love.

Takumi and his six-year-old son, Yuji, haven't come to terms with their wife and mother's death. One day, they meet a woman with an uncanny resemblance to her sheltering from the rain near their home.
