As a child, Junya promised his maternal grandfather to take over the family Shinto shrine. This did not come to pass as he did not share the same family name and grew estranged from his relatives. To escape this tension, Junya ventured overseas to pursue other dreams and distanced himself from his hometown. One day, while working in an Izakaya, he meets a foreigner researching a new dance piece. Together, they revisit Junya’s hometown to let go of a promise he cannot fulfil.
