A retired salaryman with nothing but time on his hands. A chance flyer for a community orchestra. What begins as a desperate attempt to fill empty hours becomes a chaotic, heartfelt quest for a forgotten melody—his own. This 2016 Japanese comedy-drama finds profound humor and drama in sheet music and second acts, proving it’s never too late to pick up an instrument, or a purpose.
