- Following her parents’ divorce, fourth grader Nagi moves with her mother, Mao, to her hometown on a small island in Setouchi of Yamaguchi Prefecture where her grandmother, Yoshiko, runs the only clinic. On the surface, Nagi appears cheerful and carefree but at times, traumatic visions of her alcoholic father Shimao abusing her mother trigger panic attacks, causing her to hyperventilate. The residents of the island are aware of her condition, but accept her warmly without judgment. Her classmates Raita and Kengo, her teacher Mizuki, the school caretaker Yamamura and the local fisherman Kohei all carry their own emotional burdens but strive to live positively. When Nagi learns of their troubles, she tries her best to support them while slowly regaining her ability to smile. But her peaceful days are disrupted when her father makes an unexpected visit to the island claiming he wants to live with them again. What will Nagi do?
