Isao Fujisawa

Two young people undertake a doomed summer road trip through Japan, which in turn reflects on the dissipating promise of 1960s counterculture and free love.

Unable to bear the repeated bullying, Kenichi (1st year junior high school student) attempts suicide, but narrowly survives. His hospital roommate, Jun (2nd year junior high school student), suffers from a terminal illness but lives for his dreams. Jun's single-minded dedication leaves a deep impression on Kenichi, who is thinking of ending his life.
