Summer is coming to the town. A young man manipulates a puppet. Around him are only two children. The young man's tricks are too boring to hold the audience's interest. The children lost interest and ran away. The young man is a traveler. He has two companions. An old doll that walks away without his touch. A far-off promise to the one who has the "power". A girl talks to him. She is friendly and smiles innocently. His encounter with her marks the beginning of his life in this land. The days flow peacefully, surrounded by a summer scene. Encounters with girls are repeated in the sunlight. Summer continues forever. Under the blue sky. Under the atmosphere where she waits.
