A heartwarming comedy that follows two young men from contrasting backgrounds who meet through their shared hobby of "railroading" and struggle with love and work, respectively, while nurturing their friendship. The humorous conversational drama that is typical of director Morita's style unfolds in this long-desired project that reflects his own interests. The film stars Kenichi Matsuyama and Eita. The modern characters, who are based on the "herbivore men" concept, create a realistic atmosphere. A total of 20 train lines and 80 train models appear in the film.
