It is spring 2020, and the pandemic has wiped the calendar clean for a girl about to start junior high who lives for soccer. She and her uncle, a writer, set off on foot from Abiko in Chiba, following the Tone River toward the Kashima Antlers' home ground. As they go he writes and she dribbles her ball, and the long walk turns into a lesson in finding what truly matters to you.
