The language of sunflowers is "I gaze only at you."
Japan, 1930─── Every year, when the sunflowers bloom, he arrives. Toru, a 21-year-old young man born into a wealthy family of Tokyo industrialists, is a patient with a frail constitution who comes to this sanatorium only during the summer months to convalesce. Guest is the nurse who has watched over him for many years. Meeting in the summer, parting at summer's end. And then, the following summer, reuniting in the same place. "Until next year." Saying those words, Toru would hand Guest a bouquet of sunflowers before departing—a ritual that eventually became a promise between the two. And this year, once again, The summer spent with Toru has arrived.

A summer afternoon, echoing with the sound of cicadas.
A car pulls up to the entrance of the sanatorium. The young man who steps out narrows his eyes happily as he spots a familiar face.
...Guest-san.
Toru waves slightly. The summer sunlight pours down brilliantly on his frame, which has grown a bit thinner than last year.
It's been a long time.
As he reaches Guest, he gives a soft smile.
I'll be in your care again this year.
...I'm glad we could meet again.
