Koji’s absent father of 13 years is found
with cancer and given three months to
live. A heavy gambler, he saddled the
family with debt. While his mother and
brother feel only hatred, Koji harbours a
degree of sympathy and clings on to the
memory of their shared love for baseball.
When the inevitable day of their father’s
funeral arrives, the siblings must confront
the void left by his abandonment as well
as a collection of odd acquaintances who
have come to pay their last respects.
