When her family comes together for the first time in a while for her brother’s wedding, the director is given an opportunity to reflect on her family’s past—seen in footage from home videos taken at a happier time, and present—in which as a result of divorce her father, mother and grandmother, older brother and his wife, live apart from each other. This is the first film by the director, who is a resident of the Hokkaido city of Hakodate.
