No more running away from this race called life
A marathon runner living in Kawaguchi inspires a story of rebirth
Shota committed a crime. He escapes the police and tries to find a house to use as a hideaway. An old lady, Tae, welcomes him into her house and he begins to live there. When Tae’s granddaughter Kaori visits the house, Kaori hears about a marathon runner on the radio and suggests to Shota that he should start marathon running.
