Synopsis

A middle aged man, named Kanzaki, comes to a small town with a big box in his hand. He entered a shabby shop where an old woman sits alone lifelessly. He takes out an odd helmet from the box, and put it on the old woman’s head. When he pushes one of the buttons on the helmet, her face becomes cheerful with joy. Her memory with her beloved mother was suddenly brought in her mind. Kanzaki goes to the town office and meets the mayor and officers. They are fascinated by the mysterious power of the helmet, and ask Kanzaki to stay in this town for a while to encourage town people who lost their hope and live dull lives. Kanzaki is pleased to agree to stay in the town. But nobody realizes his secret purpose to come this town……
