Akira Tagawa
산속에, 바닷가에, 마을 어귀에, 나타났다 사라지기를 반복하는 새하얀 털북숭이 개 와사오. 주인을 찾아 먼 길을 온 와사오에게도 새 친구가 생길까. 그리고 언젠가는 익숙한 그 체취를 다시 맡을 수 있을까?
Tomohiro Murata - 5 years old
Home-design sales representative Tomohiro lives with his wife and their son. As his job involves houses, it is his motto to take great care of the family who live in the house. However, he has been working so hard that he has forgotten to cherish his own family. When he looks after a client who wants to leave her father-in-law in a nursing home, it reminds him of his grandmother whom he loved so much. Father's death, grandmother's struggle with disease, and home care - those were grueling times, but the memories have become invaluable for Tomohiro. He realizes his family is the most precious thing of all. On a day off, he and his family decide to visit his mother who lives alone in their old hometown.
