Yoichi Yamashita returns to his hometown after more than a decade, summoned by the news of his father's death. As relatives gather for the funeral, long-buried memories of his childhood begin to resurface.
He recalls the warm spring afternoons spent playing on the floor of his father's barbershop, a place of comfort. These recollections are intertwined with the trauma of the great fire that devastated the city and his family home, an event that profoundly altered their lives.
Through shared stories and confidences with those who knew his father, Yoichi slowly pieces together a more complete picture of the man he had long perceived as distant and cold, embarking on a journey of understanding and reconciliation.
