Synopsis
Can a poem save your life? Words are powerful. Insults and rumors can derail a career; a bit of encouragement can give someone the strength to pursue their dreams. When a high school boy skipping class to sketch shoe designs and a taciturn woman drinking a morning beer meet in a Tokyo park, they say little but the woman bids farewell with an ancient tanka poem. Will the boy figure out the poem's meaning before it's too late?
