DramaRomance121 min

On Japan’s Amami island, teenagers Kaito and Kyoko are trying to find their place with little parental guidance.

Their relationship unfolds amid the island’s shoreline, dense greenery, and communal rituals, where family strain and young love sit alongside the constant presence of the sea.
