Shuji (Miura), born there and never having left the island, has lived a lackluster life ever since. Feeling responsible for his father's sudden death several years ago, Shuji has always lived a lackluster life on the island. One day, he learns on television that his childhood friend Kazuya (Takeda), who has moved to Tokyo to become a successful film director, is shooting a film set in his hometown of Etajima. At the same time, Sachie (Sakihi), a classmate whom the two had feelings for, is also watching the news. As the lives of these three people intersect once again, filming begins on the film directed by Kazuya. It is also to fulfill a wish left behind by Kazuya's late mother...
Shuji, Kazuya, and Yukie's high school days are played by Gotou Hinata, Ichimura Yuta, and Kawaguchi Mana. The theme song is "Otona ni Nattara" (When I Become an Adult), written specifically for the film by the rock band Cho☆Shakai Sandal.
