The year is 1987 and Japan is just reaching the peak of its economic success. Eighteen-year old Yonosuke Yokomichi arrives in Tokyo from Nagasaki. Ordinary in every way possible, he lives in a suburb far from the excitement of the big city and commutes to a university in the center of Tokyo. During his first days at school, Yonosuke befriends Ippei Kuramochi and Yui Akutsu. Parallel to the depiction of this year of ordinary college life, the characters are shown sixteen years later in the year 2003.
A Story of Yonosuke, and what a story it is. It's two hours and forty minutes long, but you won't believe how fast those hours feels like. Yonosuke is a guy whose happy spirit is catching, and one by one he changes the lives of those around him. It's a film that goes through stages in life, and portrays how much a single man can affect the outcome of others future. A bittersweet story that should be seen by anyone who wants a really good drama you can loose yourself in.
