Living in Tokyo, Keisuke Fujii never really considered the colour of his skin; but when he and his mother move to rural Japan, the other kids assume that he is of African descent and therefore must have AIDS. Unsure of how to address these prejudices, Keisuke sets out to find answers and confront the cruel rumours once and for all.
