Azusa works as a wedding planner. One day, she suddenly learned that her close friend Kanau had passed away. Because she could not recover from the bad news, Azusa could not proceed with her marriage with her boyfriend, Sumito. She continued to send messages to Kanau. Meanwhile, Kanau's parents, Tomoko and Yusaku, receive a card from the orphanage addressed to their deceased daughter. When Azusa is preparing a wedding anniversary event for a client, she suddenly remembers her middle school days with Kanau and sends a text message to Kanau saying that she cannot move forward without Kanau. Even though messages kept coming to Kanau, they were never marked as read.

A Sad Melancholic but Ultimately Uplifting Tale
I happened to come across this film on an airplane halfway across the world from Japan and gave it a try.It's a slow melancholic but ultimately somewhat uplifting tale centered on how parents mourning for their daughter and a woman mourning for her best friend are eventually able to find comfort as they uncover a series of (mostly very positive) surprises about the life of the dead girl, whose example eventually helps encourage them move on with their own lives.
The acting was good, but they could have done more with this plot to make a bit more lively.
