- In a certain town of hills, Ohba Minako (Tanaka Yuko) begins her day running up and down its steep slopes delivering milk, after which she goes to her job as a supermarket cashier. She is 50, single. In one of the houses to which she delivers milk lives a man with whom she has secretly been in love since high school. That man, Takanashi Keita (Kishibe Ittoku) lives with his wife Yoko (Nishina Akiko), who is terminally ill. Caring for her at home, he works in the Children's Affairs Section of the local municipal office. Insisting that he wants nothing more than an 'ordinary' existence, his life is one of constant turmoil. Amid all of this his thoughts, too, are on Minako. Eventually great change comes to their 'ordinary' lives. The loves of Minako and Keita, and those of the people living around them, rise and fall with the hills of the town.
