“The name of Shinji Sômai deserves to be rediscovered today more than ever.”
—Hirokazu Kore-eda
During a sweltering summer, three mischievous boys fixate on a reclusive old man, expecting to witness his lonely demise. Instead, they unravel his past and forge an unlikely bond. An exuberant and poignant story of youth and the ravages of time — from Shinji Sômai, acclaimed director of TYPHOON CLUB and P.P. RIDER.
