A whimsical yet melancholic journey through an apocalyptic delusion, where three outsiders bond over a shared belief in the world's imminent end.

Believing that the world will end that very day, three mental patients Coco, Tsumuji, and Satoru set out upon a journey. Walking upon the tops of the walls of the city, they seek to find a picnic spot with the best vantage point to view the final event.
