[Narita City, Chiba Prefecture]
"I want to thank you, too. You helped me remember something important."
This is a story about a woman who works for the Narita Airport Ground Handling Services. She’s always complaining and is unable to find any sense of purpose in her job, until a commotion her family causes at the airport helps her recall the importance of gratitude.
When Narita Airport gets hit by a devastating typhoon, ground handling staff member Ayako Takaoka (Misa Shimizu) has to cope with the situation. Even as people from around the world vent their frustrations and fears to her, she always responds with a smile. On the third day of the ordeal, after two nights without sleep, she finally arrives home and proceeds to take it out on her husband Hiroshi (Toshiro Yashiba.) Her daughter Misora (Rin Kataoka) retorts, "Stop complaining so much. You’re filling the house with bad vibes." When Ayako tells Misora to try getting a job before telling her what to do, the two are primed for a fight. Misora ends up taking her little brother Wataru (Akito Matsuno) to the airport to take photos of the planes. She happens to see her mother working, earnestly helping foreign travelers and being thanked in return. Misora starts to appreciate the pride associated with working at "The Gateway to Japan," and realizes Narita can help her pursue a future like no other. As a plane passes overhead, Misora shyly tells her mother, "Thank you for everything."
