The village of Hitosuji lies along a river flowing out of the mountains. In a farmer's house, Takuji lies unconscious.

deforestation in her own country. Kamimura is a schoolmate of Takuji. Coming to visit his friend, he starts to remember how they would play as boys, and a hut they used to visit deep in the forest. As the seasons pass, the villagers come to know Tia, and she learns of Takuji. With the summer comes a change in Takuji's condition.
