Twelve-year-old Koichi, who has been separated from his brother Ryunosuke due to his parents' divorce, hears a rumor that the new bullet trains will precipitate a wish-granting miracle when they pass each other at top speed.
A boy's wide-eyed yearning for a lost sibling fuels this quiet, sun-drenched meditation on childhood hope. Amidst the roar of passing bullet trains, the film finds profound magic in the small, overlooked moments of a fracturing family.
