Prepísali by ste svoj osud, ak by to znamenalo stratiť časť minulosti? V jednej z uličiek v Tokiu sa nachádza obchod, ktorý nedokáže nájsť každý. Je to miesto, kde môžeme prehodnotiť – založiť – naše životné rozhodnutia a to, čo nás trápi najviac. Hana Ishikawa sa stáva novou majiteľkou záložne. V jedno ráno sa na ňu všetko zosype – jej tajomný obchodík je vykradnutý, vzácny nábytok je preč a Hanin otec zmizol. Vtom záložňu navštívi očarujúci cudzinec, ktorý, na rozdiel od ostatných, nehľadá pomoc, ale sám ju ponúka. Čaká ich cesta cez veľké dažďové mláky, most medzi polnocou a ránom, stopujú na papierových žeriavoch a neúnavne sa snažia nájsť strateného otca. Čím sú však bližšie k pravde, tým bližšie sa Hana ocitá aj zoči-voči vlastnému tajomstvu a rozhodnutiu, ktoré už nikdy nebude môcť vrátiť späť.
