Film description
A young man escapes from prison. With the help of a mysterious fairy, he returns to society, only to learn that his older brother has died. Reaching out to him one last time through a local medium, he searches for a way to make up for lost time. Meals at restaurants, fun on the beach, and trips to an amusement park allow the younger brother to reclaim the moments they missed together, before the older brother must return to where he belongs – to the great waters.
