Mayu Tsuruta

Tsutomu, a taxi driver, is terrible at talking to people and always has the lowest quota at his company. Even his family has no expectations from him. However, a chance encounter with a random cat changes his game. Everyone has what it takes given a little push, and it’s one cat that helps Tsutomu turn his life around.

Makoto and his mother leave their old lives behind for a new town. Kenji lives a quiet life with Haruka, but there is a secret she keeps close. Takeo is a widower who drives his children to the beach. Yuichi returns to his hometown, and is led into the woods by a woman. Four men, four families. This tapestry of lives intricately weaves together in a gentle ode to new life rising from the ashes.
