Fumihisa is a solitary botanist who lives in the forests of northern Japan. A friend asks him to show a specific type of maple to a young man who crafts musical instruments. This type of maple is in danger of extinction. Legends have it that Antonio Stradivari used its wood to build his famous violins. Hazuki is a private investigator from Tokyo charged with arresting a woman thief who shoplifts small items from a large department store on the twenty fifth of every month. The detective quits his job because he has not managed to catch the kleptomaniac. He goes back to his home town and meets the woman thief by chance one day in the local church. July 25 is approaching, a day that is to bring unexpected meaning into the lives of Fumihisa and Hazuki.
