An evocative story that follows three orphaned youths who stumble upon a letter slipped under the door as they hide out in a food store. They write a response thus beginning a correspondence with people from 30 years ago. From a terminally-ill boyfriend, a girl caught between love and passion, an aspiring musician and a student who'd rather quit school and run from home as he deals with his troubles, the movie focuses on simple stories of different individuals who hope for a miracle. They send letters to a nondescript store that was run by Namiya, an elderly man who offered wisdom and heartfelt advice to those who'd listen.
