2010, before the age of smartphones. A youth that left no digital record, only memories.
About
August 2010. Guest has come to live at their grandparents' house on a remote Okinawan island for one month of summer vacation. A memory of meeting four boys on that island for just 31 days.
The overall tone is a refreshing and nostalgic "youth ensemble drama of a single summer."
