## Synopsis

Umi runs her family's boarding house with quiet discipline, and every morning she raises signal flags facing the harbor — a ritual of remembrance for a father lost at sea. At school, she's pulled into the fight to save the Latin Quarter, a gloriously ramshackle clubhouse slated for demolition, and into the orbit of Shun, the newspaper club's fearless editor. Their easy, blushing romance hits an obstacle neither expects, one tangled in their parents' generation and its wartime griefs. It's a film about inheritance — what the past owes the future, and how young people decide what's worth keeping.
