In a small farming village in the 1950’s, young Shinko is a strong willed, imaginative girl with a passion for her towns past and her friends. When new girl Kiiko arrives in town and attends Shinko’s school, the two build an inseparable bond and do everything together. Along with some other friends they build a dam, imagine a princess who live one thousand years earlier in their town and try to come to terms with reality crashing into their dreamy endless summer days. Kiiko is suffering from the loss of her mother and Shinko’s creative and helpful attitude helps her press through, the friends all stay close and make promises to stay happy and remember the good times no matter where life takes them.
