**In the summer of 1989, in Hokkaido, Japan.**
Michio, a 17-year-old high schooler from Tokyo, sets off alone on a motorbike trip across the island. Riding his beloved 250cc Yamaha, he meets two strangers who quietly reshape the path of his journey-and his heart.
One is Jun, a bold and beautiful woman on a red Ducati.
The other is Takahashi-san, an elderly man traveling with the spirit of his late wife, carrying her memorial tablet close to his heart.
