Actor Takashi has lived estranged from his father Yohji, a retired university professor, since a messy divorce with his mother 20 years ago. They barely keep in touch, until one day a call from the police leads Takashi to visit Yohji, who struggles with dementia at his home in southern Japan. Upon arrival, Takashi discovers that Yohji's second wife, Naomi, has disappeared. When asked where she is, Yohji replies that she committed suicide. Takashi must find out if there is any truth in his father's words.
