Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?
打ち上げ花火、下から見るか?横から見るか?
Over the course of a summer, small arguments swell into grand quests among sixth-graders examining fireworks’ shapes. The boys chase shape theory while a classmate tests escape plans by picking one confidant. It stops just shy of feeling like a metaphor everyone missed.
