- Synopsis
- On the sixth anniversary of the death of Mitsuo Suwa (Yoshioka)’s wife, a memorial service is held at Kurumaya, formerly a long-standing traditional confectionery store which has been reborn as a modern café. After the service, Mitsuo, now a successful novelist, recoils at the suggestion he remarry. However Yuri (Hiyori Sakurada), his daughter, is fine with the idea and even has someone in mind: her father’s perky editor Setsuko (Chizuru Ikewaki).
  
  Soon after, at a book signing, Mitsuo is stunned to see his first love Izumi (Goto), now a United Nations staffer who happens to be on a business trip to Japan. Meeting after the session, the pair share fond memories and with a sense of warmth growing between them, a new chapter in Mitsuo’s life begins.
