The distant neighborhood

The return to the past is possible.. but, do you really desire that? Who among us hasn't wished to go back to the past to correct a mistake they made, or to change a decisive decision they took? Will this return guarantee a better future for you and your loved ones? Or will what you change cause greater harm and concern? Now it has become possible for a man to do it. And here is what happened: Hiroshi Nakahara, an aging man returning from a tiring business trip, boarded the wrong train, which took him to the town where he grew up in his childhood. There, his feet led him to his mother’s grave, and suddenly time turned upside down, and he woke up to find himself in the body of a boy in eighth grade, but with the same mature mind full of memories. Nakahara embarks on a journey to find a solution to this temporal dilemma, colliding with childhood situations that differ from what he imagined and remembered. Questions flood his mind: Will his father disappear again without explanation? Will fate lead him to the same woman he married? And will his return remove the veil from his eyes so he can appreciate what he neglected, empathize with his family, and reconcile with his past?
