Plot
Masashi Asada is the gifted but irresponsible youngest son in a family, and a photographer. His work initially revolves around taking staged photos of his family, depicting an ideal world where they do their dream jobs. Asada publishes his book, which has mediocre sales, and turns to his childhood crush for support. As his book starts to take off, he starts getting requests from average families for him to take photos of them. When the 2011 Thoku earthquake happens, he volunteers to take photos of the victims. As part of this, he does some soul searching and realises the value of family.
