Under a sweltering midsummer sky, two boys arrive in their uniforms. "I want to play baseball! But what awaits them is a completely empty field. A suspicious caretaker appears and tells them that the ground for the game has been changed, and invites them to go somewhere else. The unintelligible and absurd conversations between the protagonists and the labyrinthine countryside make you laugh. It is as if they have been thrown into a dream, and the mysterious world that unfolds on the screen will surely awaken in the audience nostalgia for summer that has been lying dormant in the depths of their hearts.
