Synopsis

While testing out his camera on a bridge one summer night, Kaito Kirishima sees a blue light streaking across the sky, only to be blown off the railing seconds later. Just before succumbing to unconsciousness, a hand reaches down to grab ahold of his own. Dazed and confused, Kaito wakes up the next morning wondering how he ended up back in his own room with no apparent injuries or any recollection of the night before. As he proceeds with his normal school life, Kaito and his friends discuss what to do with his camera, finally deciding to make a film with it over their upcoming summer break. Noticing that Kaito has an interest in the new upperclassmen Ichika Takatsuki, his friend Tetsurou Ishigaki decides to invite her, as well as her friend Remon Yamano, to join them in their movie project. In what becomes one of the most entertaining and exciting summers of their lives, Kaito and his friends find that their time spent together is not just about creating a film, but something much more meaningful that will force them to confront their true feelings and each other.

THE FINALE. Kaito watching the movie alone... I was sobbing. Everyone grieving differently felt so real. Nanami hugging him was sweet. THAT POST-CREDITS SCENE THOUGH 🥹 Ichika returned?? Full circle perfection. The tears were worth it.
ICHIKA CHOOSING HIBERNATION 😭 The countdown was so tense. Kaito running after the ship screaming broke me. Remon being emotional was unexpected. That sleeping capsule shot is burned in my brain. The after-credits gave me hope.
Seeing Earth from space was breathtaking 🌍 The group asking questions was satisfying. Tetsuro being chill about aliens is on brand. Mio crying was heartbreaking. The movie they made is finally complete. This show knows how to make you feel things.
