In 1986, Hisada is a fifth-grader living with his loving parents and younger brother in Nagasaki. He befriends a classmate from school and together they head off to see the dolphins at Boomerang Island. That summer, their friendship was solidified, until a heart-breaking event foreshadows an impending farewell. With echoes of Stand By Me, Sabakan is a heart-warming story full of beautiful and peaceful landscapes.
