Set in an unnamed Japanese seaside village, Kujira no Ita Natsu (literally Summer of the Whales, although the official English title is still not known) is a coming of age dramedy that centers on Chuuya (Nomura Shuhei), a small-town boy who suddenly decides to change his environment and move to Tokyo in order to give his quiet life a meaning. However, due to an unforeseen flood of nostalgic memories of high school days spent with three best friends, Chuuya slowly begins to change his mind.
