A quiet, morally ambiguous drama about an unlikely bond between a young man and a mysterious child, suspended between tenderness and the unsettling questions that surround her.

In a park on a rainy evening, a 19-year-old university student, Fumi, offers an umbrella to a soaking wet 10-year-old girl, Sarasa. Realizing her reluctance to go home, Fumi lets her stay in his place, where she spends the next two months in peace.
