Naho, Genki, Mau, Mimi and Ichika live in Yonaguni, a Japanese island that looks like a rock. Next year, they are going to high school and must therefore leave the island. They grew up in a world that has nothing to do with the one they will have to face. Their lives, their desires, their words could be the last traces of a disappearing world.
