Features: At the age of thirty-seven, Tsukiko meets her former Japanese literature teacher by chance in a small tavern. Unable to recall his last name, she vaguely refers to him. Over the following days, the teacher often talks about their high school classroom experiences. They drink sake, eat Japanese cuisine, take walks, admire cherry blossoms together, go on trips, and compose haiku by the sound of endless waves. Tsukiko and the teacher develop a quiet and unassuming intergenerational love, filled with a gentle atmosphere, faint sorrow, subtle and hazy, evoking nostalgia and melancholy!
