Summaries

Storyline

A group of Yokohama students fight to save their school's clubhouse from the wrecking ball during preparations for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. While working there, Umi and Shun gradually attract each other, but face a sudden trial. Even so, they keep going without fleeing the difficulties of reality. — Netflix Movies The Port of Yokohama, Japan, 1963. With the country gearing up to host the upcoming 1964 Tokyo Olympics, shy and industrious high-school student Umi starts her day by raising signal flags to greet passing ships from up on Coquelicot Manor. Despite being a wallflower at school, Umi inadvertently catches the eye of Shun, the self-confident school newspaper president, who has been harbouring a secret crush on her for quite some time. As fate would have it, Shun introduces Umi to the "Latin Quarter", a rundown mansion that doubles as a vibrant clubhouse for students interested in drama, chemistry, philosophy, journalism, and more. Together, they embark on a challenging mission to save the beloved structure from the wrecking ball, even as school administrators insist on demolishing the old building. Against the backdrop of a rapidly modernising Japan, two young dreamers work together to preserve the cherished hangout, unaware they are on the path of self-discovery and newfound love. — Nick Riganas
