When Kenzaburo's wife Akiko passes away in Japan, he travels with his estranged son Toshi and daughter-in-law Satsuki to the Lake District in England—the land of Beatrix Potter, whose charming tales of Peter Rabbit captivated Akiko as a child. Akiko had always hoped to travel there one day with Kenzaburo, but now he must fulfil his wife's last wish and scatter her ashes there. Kenzaburo ends up making the trip alone after an argument with his son and, after a nightmarish entry to the U.K., eventually meets John and his daughter, Mary. A strong friendship develops between them, and Kenzaburo realizes he needs to pursue this symbolic journey with his son—and ultimately reveal a long-time secret.
