Facing a future of unbearable humidity, the group's despair turns to possibility with the discovery of a functional time machine in their storage room.
The young man, known only as "I," devises a plan to travel back to the previous day and retrieve the remote before its demise. However, Ozu's mischievous meddling with past events threatens to unravel time itself, pushing the universe to the brink of catastrophe. Now, "I" must race through the timelines to prevent disaster and restore a semblance of order to their chaotic summer.
