For high school student Takao, a summer shower is a source of artistic inspiration . . . but when he skips school in order to sketch in a rainy garden, he finds a muse in Yukari, an older woman who seems adrift in the world. Despite the difference in their ages and lives, they strike up a comfortable relationship that slowly evolves as they meet in the same garden whenever it rains. But with the rainy season coming to a close, Takao wonders if there’s enough time left to put his feelings into actions and words. What will happen between a young man and a woman when the rain falls again?
