Yokohama, 1963. Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics—and the mood is one of both optimism and conflict as the young generation struggles to throw off the shackles of a troubled past. Against this backdrop of hope and change, a friendship begins to blossom between high school students Umi and Shun—but a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart.

Viewing Notes
Very warm and very sweet. Sadly had to view the dubbed version. Will definitely revisit in its native language when it’s released on home video. It’s so uniquely Japanese that its just odd view w/English.
