Plot

Shigeo Hanada is a diligent and studious high school student who lives alone with his mother. As summer vacation begins, he is forced to move in with his estranged father, Hanao, a man in his thirties who abandoned the family years earlier to pursue his dream of becoming a professional baseball player for the Tokyo Giants. The two are polar opposites: Hanao remains a carefree dreamer with a childlike outlook on life, while Shigeo is pragmatic and solely focused on academic success. Initially resistant to his father's unconventional lifestyle, Shigeo gradually begins to realize that life's most important lessons extend beyond the classroom. Through their strained yet evolving relationship, he discovers new perspectives on ambition, family, and personal growth.
