Film Synopsis
Taeko Okajime (voiced by Miki Imai) has always fantasied about the countryside. Having lived in Tokyo her whole life, a simpler, quieter existence promised by a rural farming community has been her dream.
These feeling go as far back as her elementary school days when her classmates would leave the city for holiday.
As an adult, Taeko decides to take a visit to her brother-in-law’s family 's farm in
Yamagata. While traveling, she begins recalling her ten year old self (voiced by Yoko Honna). Strong waves of
nostalgia rush in and the events of her current life stir many
memories that were once forgotten.
Arriving at her
destination, Taeko is met at the station by a cousin of her
brother-in-law named Toshio (voiced by Toshiro Yanagiba), who is there to bring her
to the family farm. Before this meeting these two were barely acquaintances, but they
really hit it off.
Taeko’s short stay is rewarding, enjoyable, and appears to be exactly what she was looking for. However, reality has a way of changing our outlook without warning. As the story drifts between past and present, the older Taeko must come to
terms with weather she is meeting the expectation of her younger self.
