The film is adapted from the novel of the same name published by Japanese author Kiyoshi Shigematsu in 2009. Shortly after Kenichi's daughter Miki was born, his wife Tomoko suddenly passed away due to illness, leaving Kenichi and Miki to rely on each other for survival. His wife's parents advised him to remarry and wanted to raise their granddaughter Miki by their side, but Kenichi still decided to take care of his daughter all by himself. From the nursery to the graduation of primary school, what is captured in the changing seasons are the efforts of a single father and the footprints left by his daughter's growth. Although in the past ten years, there have been women in Kenichi's life who were willing to be Miki's mother, his feelings for his deceased wife have kept Kenichi from making a decision for a long time. This is a touching story about the heartwarming communication between the "people who were left behind" and the kind people surrounding this father and daughter.[Collapse]
