Since his doctor has informed him that he only has one month left to live, he spends his days on a beach where he had spent his youth with his unforgotten wife, Yoko. On the beach he meets Yuma, Yoko's daughter, whit whom he forms a sort of paternal bond. Together they rescue a man who tries to commit suicide, and Yuma falls in love with him.
