    • Sixth grader Renko is excited at first when her father finds a new apartment. When she finally realizes that her parents are contemplating divorce and her mother tries to lead her into a ‘brand new life’, Renko takes matters into her own hands. Just before the official divorce, Renko borrows her mother’s bank card and books a trip to Lake Biwa in an attempt to relive and rekindle the love her family felt during their summer vacation there the year before. Finally, Renko realizes that she cannot physically reunite her parents although they are united in their love for her.
