A bittersweet, visually poetic story about youthful promises and connection set against a divided, mysterious world, balancing hope with melancholic uncertainty.

In a post-war alternative timeline, Japan is divided into the North, controlled by the Union, and the South, controlled by the United States. A mysterious high tower rises within the borders of the Union. Three high school students promise to cross the border with a self-built airplane and unravel the secret of the tower.
