After the death of his father, his aging mother and beautiful ex-wife seem to be moving on with their lives. Renewing contact with his initially distrusting family, Ryota struggles to take back control of his existence and to find a lasting place in the life of his young son – until a stormy summer night offers them a chance to truly bond again.
The film was in the official selection Un Certain Regard Cannes Film Festival and Masters Program at Toronto International Film Festival.
