The girl reminisces about her lonely days in Tokyo and her hometown by the sea where she lived with her grandmother, and the girl’s presence becomes a source of emotional support for the boy. One day, the girl disappears from the boy’s sight. A beautiful poem woven together with images that reflect the boy’s delicate inner life and Pachelbel’s Canon.
