Synopsis

Joutarou Aragaki was once one of Japan's leading gymnasts, but a damaged shoulder, advancing age, and years of declining results lead his coach to tell him it may be time to retire. Joutarou intends to break the news to his daughter Rei, only for their day to be derailed by Leonardo, an eccentric young man who insists he is a ninja. Leonardo's enthusiasm forces Joutarou to confront a question he has been avoiding: is his career truly over, or has he simply accepted everyone else's verdict? Instead of announcing his retirement, he shocks the public by choosing to continue, beginning a comeback that tests his body, his resolve, and the bond with the daughter who never stopped believing in him.
