INTRODUCTION
In 2016, a carpool karaoke video of a father and son in the United Kingdom was posted on social media and moved people around the world. The father, who has Alzheimer's, recalled his memories while he sang the songs.
Inspired by this remarkable true story, director Nori Koizumi of 'Midnight Sun' and 'Chihayafuru' series brings this heartwarming story to life in Yokosuka, Japan with his portrayal of a family's love and struggles as they once again pursue the dream.
STORY
Tetta gave up on his dream of a record debut when his son, Yuta, was born.
While running a music store in Yokosuka, Tetta occasionally performed at local venues and was popular for his sense of humor and charismatic voice. This was until he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
What kept Tetta himself was the strong faith of his son, his loving wife, his loyal friends, and his love for music.
Only when singing his favorite songs did Tetta became himself again. His dream became everyone’s dream, and then a miracle happens…
