A bittersweet, multi-award-winning Japanese indie about love, loss, and longing that dissolves the boundaries of time and space in a tranquil seaside town.

Sano returns to the sleepy coastal village where he fell in love with his wife, Nagi, five years earlier. Now shattered by her loss, he seeks comfort in the company of his friend Miyata. The film effortlessly shifts between past and present, tracing the couple’s tender first encounter and the echoes of their shared memories.

Blending memory and reality with delicate precision, it reflects on fate’s unpredictability – embodied by a red cap. Kohei Igarashi’s subtle, slightly mysterious, and quietly humorous meditation on grief is a beautifully crafted gem.
