Through this experience, he encounters various individuals facing life and death, ultimately working toward healing his family's bonds.
The film is directed by Tomezo, who previously directed ‘Kamisama Matte! Ohana ga Saku kara’. The cast includes Misaki Minato in her first film role as Miho Tanaka, Azusa Watanabe as Kenta's mother, and special appearances by Toru Kazama and Reiko Takashima.
