Ko, a motorcycle enthusiast from the city, drifts through the Japanese countryside until he encounters Miyo, a carefree local girl whose spirit of freedom captivates him. He teaches her to ride, and her prodigious talent emerges with alarming speed. But as her confidence on the road grows, so does Ko's dread; he begins to see her daring not as liberation, but as a prelude to a crash. Their summer fills with the roar of engines, the dust of backroads, and a gnawing fear that this shared passion is racing toward a tragic end.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film expertly balances romantic levity with a deep undercurrent of psychological unease. The motorcycle becomes a potent metaphor not for mere travel, but for freedom, risk, and uncontrollable emotion.

What lingers after the final frame is a sense of poignant inevitability—a summer idyll slowly transforming into a modern Greek tragedy, where foreboding is the true protagonist. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Nobuhiko Obayashi

Dust-hazed backroads, the scream of an engine against silent fields, a sun-drenched summer of impending loss.
