A Japanese immigrant father and his American-born son run a humble little traditional candy stall at a food festival. In order to attract customers, they use a unique rhythmic cutting performance.

SYNOPSIS:

On a hot summer day in the 80s, Touma and his son Kai, running a traditional Japanese confectionery stall, wait for customers as they walk past. Kai struggles with identity as an Asian-American kid. Touma decides to perform 'tontoko ame kiri' or 'knock-knock candy cutting' to attract customers, but to also share with Kai their culture. 30 years later, Kai uses the same kind of performance at the same festival, but this time he plays along with a recording of his father performing. Together they create a beautiful song of culture, family & heritage.
