Haruo returns to his hometown for his mothers second marriage and happens to meet his first love Miyuki in eight years. Haruo still has feelings for her, who left her hometown the day after they made love. Miyuki is back with her daughter Chiharu, after a failed marriage, but disappears again the next day. Haruo goes to meet Chiharu like Miyuki asked him to and spends the day with the little girl. An awkward company at first, but as time passes he feels a certain responsibility for Chiharu, thinking that she might be his own daughter.
