- 　Gas station attendant Natsumi (Ayane) receives a marriage proposal from Yamato (Takahiro Miura), a friend since their high school days, who is striving to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a fully-fledged fisherman. They visit Natsumi’s parents to announce their intention to marry, then go to the nursing home where her grandmother Kiyo (Mitsuko Kusabue) lives.
  　Kiyo practically raised Natsumi while her parents were busy working, and has always been adored by her granddaughter. However, she hasn’t been able to walk since fracturing her leg while gardening at home, and is now wheelchair-bound.
  　When Natsumi visits Kiyo for the first time since her accident, she wonders how she can cheer her grandmother up and help her regain her vitality. She comes up with a novel idea - walking down the aisle at her wedding with Kiyo. Natsumi’s dedication encourages Kiyo to begin the long hard road to walking again, and her newfound goal gradually fills her with hope...
