Family members learn the whereabouts of the father (Lily Franky) who vanished without a trace thirteen years ago. However, he dies of cancer three months later, leaving Koji (Takahashi Issei) and his family members without closure. Koji and his family think they can't reclaim the lost thirteen years, but the stories told about their father by mourners at the funeral reveal the truth that was unknown to the family.
