Synopsis

On a small Japanese island, life revolves around the changing seasons. Winter is time for ice hockey at school, but Takuya isn’t too thrilled about it. His real interest lies in Sakura, a figure skating rising star from Tokyo, for whom he starts to develop a genuine fascination. Coach and former champion Arakawa spots potential in Takuya and decides to mentor him to form a duo with Sakura for an upcoming national tournament. These two young skaters, with totally opposite personalities, will begin to form a harmonious bond throughout the winter.
