a story about friendship through snowboarding

Snowboarder Antti Autti reconnects with his long-time friend, Japanese mountain guide Takumi Nagai at his home Minamiuonuma, Japan. Over the years, the bond between Antti and Takumi has been forged through their shared passion for snowboarding.

They both love mountains and have set a goal to go ride one of the higher peaks in the area during Antti's visit. However, Takumi's bustling life poses a challenge to their mission, raising a question - is Antti's visit solely about achieving a snowboarding goal, or is it more important to reconnect with his friend?
