渡り鳥も聴こえる Echoes of Wings

Seita Koyama (Ryu Ichinose), burdened by a criminal record for fleeing a taxi without
paying, lives a quiet, unassuming life in Tokyo. One day, guided by a sudden, faint memory of a
snowy landscape seen on TV, he decides to relocate to the rural town of Ikeda in Fukui Prefecture.
While many of the locals eye the solitary newcomer with suspicion, a young neighbor, Miyuki
Shimizu (Kei Takeuchi), constantly goes out of his way to look after him. However, Miyuki has his
own reasons for keeping such a close eye on Seita.

This is a quiet story of two wounded young men learning to accept themselves as they spend a
single winter together.
