[ Story ]
This human drama is the fourth feature film by director Sugita Kyoshi, who received high acclaim both in Japan and overseas for his film Haruhara-san's Recorder.
Haru (Ogawa An), a bookstore clerk, notices the sad expression on Yukiko's (Nakamura Yuko) face as she sits on a bench in front of the station, and pretends to ask her for directions. Meanwhile, Haru spends her days following a man named Tsuyoshi (Mashima Hidekazu) and checking on him. Gradually, she begins to confront her own feelings for her mother and her grief during the days she spends with them both.
