Abandoned by his mother in childhood, Kasai Izumi (played by Shohei Sugata) must let go of his emotional burdens to care for his mother (played by Mieko Harada), who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. As his mother gradually loses her memory, she often strangely asks Izumi and his wife (played by Masami Nagasawa) to take her to see "half a firework." With his mother going missing time and again, Izumi's long-repressed emotions explode, leading to a complete breakdown in their mother-son relationship. In the final days of his mother's life, Izumi ultimately discovers a long-buried secret about her... The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Genki Kawamura and won the Best Director Award at the 70th San Sebastián International Film Festival.
