Yu, a student at an elite Tokyo middle school, enjoys corresponding by email with his father, who is abroad on business - or so Yu has convinced himself. In reality, his father died of illness six months ago. Yu's worried mother, Ryoko, decides to move with Yu to her husband's old home in the country. There, Yu must learn how to deal with his grandfather, who is growing senile and thinks Yu is his own son(Yu's father). Yu's new school is small: he has only three classmates, and the rudimentary instruction is inadequate for him. His classmates are quite welcoming; they invite him to join them in rehearsing for the Autumn Festival, after class. But Yu declines. Country life is simply not his cup of tea. Gradually, however, the beneficent power of Nature, and the warmth of the country people, melt the ice that has encased Yu's solitary heart.
