Story
A bearded foreigner visits Origuchi Yaichi who is single-handedly raising Natsuna, his daughter of elementary school age, all of a sudden. Yaichi had a younger twin brother Ryoji but Ryoji moved to Canada long ago and they virtually broke off ties. Ryoji has passed away and this man in front of Yaichi is his “husband” Mike. Mike ends up staying at Yaichi’s house for a while. But Yaichi cannot get rid of his prejudice against gays. He is not sure how to treat him and ends up getting irritated. However, Natsuna quickly warms up to Mike’s personality and as Yaichi gets to know Mike’s unconventional views on couples and family, he slowly begins to accept him. A new “wind” begins to blow in the Origuchi family which also spreads to Yaichi’s ex-wife Natsuki. But at the same time, this causes ripples among the people around them too. And Mike has a “promise” with Ryoji that he must tell Yaichi … …
