Minako (Yuko Tanaka) spends her mornings climbing the hills of her rural hometown delivering milk, then works evenings as a supermarket cashier. At fifty and unmarried, she silently loves Keita (Ittoku Kishibe), a childhood crush now caring for his terminally‑ill wife Yoko while employed in the municipal children’s affairs office. Keita longs for an ordinary life, yet his world unravels, exposing the loneliness, isolation and quiet hope that bind them.
