The film revolves around a woman who is devoted to a peaceful religion but sees her life turned upside down after her missing husband makes a sudden return. The cast includes Mariko Tsutsui, Ken Mitsuishi, Hayato Isomura, Tamae Ando, and Noriko Eguchi.

Synopsis: Living peacefully, Yoriko Sudo (Mariko Tsutsui) busies herself with study groups and daily prayers, devoted to the new religion called Green Life Society, whose beliefs centre around water. As part of her morning routine, she draws ripples in the sand as she tends to her garden, but when her missing husband makes a sudden return home, a microcosmic despair settles as suppressed emotions begin rising to the surface.
