Koichi lives in Kagoshima in the shadow of a volcano with his single mum and grandparents. He pines for his family to reunite but that's highly unlikely, so he and his brother go on an adventure.
A lovely coming-of-age drama with a poignant, amusing script and two terrific performances from real-life siblings Koki Maeda and Oshiro Maeda as the boys.
