High school student Hana returns home from the hospital following six months of treatment for acute leukaemia only to find that her older brother has become a social recluse. Determined to draw Taro out of his isolation, she gets him involved in the world-famous Katakai Fireworks Festival, which Hana had fond memories of attending years ago. When she suffers a relapse, Taro exerts more effort into breaking out of his shell and fulfilling his sister?s wishes.

Inspired by true events in post-earthquake Niigata, the film offers a tender look at a family dealing with crisis, as well as the phenomenon of hikikomori?an affliction associated with individuals who completely shut themselves off from the world.
