    • Synopsis
    • SHUHARI --- A phantom firework representing the universe that his father used to create.
      It has been four years since Keitaro has been holed up in a closed-down factory, chasing after an illusion of his father who vanished.
      It was once part of a forest surrounded by lush greenery.
      Now, due to a redevelopment project by the city, the entire area is covered with solar panels, and the only remaining greenery is around the factory.
      In addition, a prefectural road is scheduled to be extended through the factory site.
      Keitaro desperately desires to set off fireworks before the substitute execution of administrative action, so he appeals to his brother "Chicchi" and his childhood friend "Kaoru".
      They listen to him and try to help him, but Keitaro's too reckless plan of resistance leads to a fight among them.
      The memories of the past that come and go to the three, the secret of the phantom firework "SHUHARI"... and what is the new dawn that awaits them all ------?
