Fourth installment in Deka Matsuri omnibus series. 8 films.

Futami is a 17-year-old high school girl. Her father was killed in the war, her mother is hospitalized due to illness, and she lives with her senile grandmother. As she spends her adolescence surrounded by this "great sadness," her friend runs away from home and comes to live with her. This is the first film of the "16mm Film Production Support Project" (now PFF Scholarship) which started in 1984.

A young man travels around in a truck while turning an 8mm camera. In his hometown in Kansai, he meets a high school girl. The film tells the story of the moratorium of youth through the connection of seemingly unrelated episodes between the young man and the girl. A truck driving through the city, a teacher from high school, an exchange with the girl. The film is full of transparency, with a conscious interplay between black and white and colour, as if it were a mental picture of the young man himself. In the last scene, the girl turns the 8mm camera on herself, and her face, enveloped in light, is refreshing.
