Mr. Hirasaki's photography studio, located somewhere in the mountains, on the border between this world and the next, provides very unusual services. Each of its visitors gets the opportunity to travel back to any of the moments of his past and capture it in a photograph. Ninety-year-old Hatsue, who devoted her life to working in kindergarten, forty–seven-year-old Yakuza mafia boss Waniguchi, longing for the days when he was still capable of compassion, nine-year-old Mitsuru, who was bullied by her fiendish parents - each of them has their own story, their own regrets and their own moments of life that you always want to return to. A heartfelt, life-affirming story about the intertwining of human destinies, memory, hope, chance encounters and seemingly insignificant events that can change lives.
