Story
Ryota and Midori Nonomiya are a married couple raising their six-year-old son Keithu in an atmosphere of complete prosperity and high hopes. Ryota is a successful employee of a large company; he is disappointed with his son's lack of ambition and obvious talents. Ryotu and Midori are once summoned to the hospital, where their son was born, and the stunning news is reported: at one time there was confusion, so Keita is not their real child; their biological son Rusei is raised by a poor Saiki family.

What should be done - to exchange children or leave everything as it is? And if the exchange is made, will this not be a tragedy for the children? Ryeta and Midori begin to communicate with the Saiki family, so unlike their own, to gradually find a way out of the situation ...
