Three separate stories about young people in Japan come together in this omnibus film about love and growing up. In one, a student at an all-boys' school falls for his teacher. In another, someone attends the wedding of a former partner. In the third, two childhood friends feel their bond shift as adolescence changes both their bodies and their hearts. Across all three, the film treats every kind of love and way of living as equally valid, with the hope that the pain of loving someone may one day become a fond memory. It is a quiet drama, romance and slice of life work rather than a single sweeping plot.
