Yoshio, the patriarch at 72 years old, looks up at the clear blue sky, proclaiming, “What a beautiful sky! It's going to be even bluer tomorrow!” Standing beside him is Yuki, his 70-year-old partner, laden with shopping bags, sarcastically reminding him, “Relaxing isn’t an option; everyone is waiting for us!”

Unexpectedly, they are joined by Sadamitsu, Yoshio’s father, who has been deceased for 30 years.
