    • Takaaki (Shinsuke Kato) is a lonely iron shop welder who is visiting his parents (Kazuko Yoshiyuki and Choei Takahashi) one day when a man is killed by a flowerpot that falls from their neighbor’s balcony in gale-force winds. His mother suggests that the man’s widow and young son join the grief-counseling group that Takaaki is also a member of, since he hasn’t yet recovered from his brother’s death. His father’s dementia is also caused for alarm, and when his parents’ helper starts insinuating that the flowerpot accident might be a crime, Takaaki is forced to face some hard truths.
