"Why do we always slow down when we keep moving forward in life?" The Yokoyama family lives a peaceful life in a remote town. The father, Kyohei (Yoshio Harada), is a retired doctor, but he is always concerned about the affairs of the town clinic. The eldest son, Junpei, inherited his father's business, but drowned 15 years ago while trying to save a child who fell into the water. The second son, Ryota (Hiroshi Abe), disagreed with his father and insisted on going to another place to become a painting restorer. After years of hard work, he was unemployed. The distressed Ryota married Yukari (Yui Natsukawa) who had a child, and they supported each other and continued their lives. On the anniversary of Junpei's death, Ryota and his sister Chinami (YOU) rushed back home with their families. The quiet Yokoyama family is bustling again...
