Ryo spends his days suspended on a high‑rise gondola, washing windows in the bustling city of Tokyo. Eleven‑year‑old Kagari lives in one of those apartments with an indifferent mother and two pet birds. When she finds a bird injured, Ryo, cleaning her window, takes it to a vet, sparking an unlikely friendship that leads them toward self‑discovery.
