Yamabuki plot

A story about finding a new place when discouraged by the obstacles life throws at you. Chang-su, a former sports rider in the South Korean national team, had to give up his dream early on. He now works at a quarry in the rural town of Maniwa in western Japan, where he lives with Minami and her toddler daughter. Yamabuki, a teenage girl, begins to stage silent protests that unleash collective action, much to the horror of her police officer father. The seemingly serene shell of this rural town is gradually being peeled off, revealing frustration and loneliness that, once they have a voice, also connect people.
