Description
Kenji, a high school senior, is on the edge of giving up his dream.
To inherit his father’s small factory, he is about to enter local technological institute.
On the other hand, his father, even though not so wealthy, recommend him to do so
wishing to open up new possibillities for his son.
Accepting his fate once, Kenji’s dream of flying to New York to study architecture
gushes out the day before the entrance exam.
An universal story of father and son is triggered by the subject of "Ryugaku"
(studying abroad). Kenji’s wish and his father’s wish intertwine and crash in the factory at dusk. Then, they start to understand each other for the first time.
