Synopsis

A group of childhood friends reunites after it is revealed that the world will end in one year. With nothing left to hold them back, they decide to go on a road trip across Japan, visiting the places they once dreamed of seeing. Along the way, old memories blend with new ones, long-hidden feelings are confessed, and they learn that the end of the world isn’t just about saying goodbye—it’s about truly living for the first time.
This is a very dark story that devolves into something akin to realistic horror. Please be aware that it handles the concept of the end of existence in a somber, serious tone with lightness sprinkled throughout.
