Shiratsuna Island is the only remaining island city in Japan, but it is being merged with a city on the opposite shore. Housewife Tomita Misato (Hirosue Ryoko) lives on the island. At a ceremony to mark the end of city, she stares intently at someone dressed in the clothes of an urbanite who has stepped up to the podium. This person is the novelist Katsuragi Shoko (Mizuno Miki). She is the older sister that Misato hates. Shoko left the island 20 years ago for Tokyo and never once came back. Now a successful writer, Shoko reads an essay with feelings of homesickness out loud as a guest at the ceremony. Misato is intercepted by Shoko’s classmate, Miyashita Kunikazu (Mizuhashi Kenji), just as she is leaving the venue after the ceremony finished. Then Shoko appears and Misato expresses her feelings of disgust. However, Shoko is completely unapologetic. She hitches a ride with Misato in Kunikazu’s car and heads home to where her mother, Misato’s husband (Nakamura Yasuhi) and daughter (Tanabe Momoko) are waiting. Misato thinks of the past … One summer 20 years ago, a young man called Okudera Kenichi (Tanaka Kei) came backpacking from Tokyo.
