The traveling medical examiner Dojo, in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, the setting for this film, meets companions who love haiku. As members of the 'Goyu' (Five Friends), talented actors such as Michiko Hada, Junko Sakurai, Hiroshi Taguchi, and Yasufumi Hayashi gather, depicting rich human drama within a peaceful time.

The key to the incident lies in an unsolved case from 20 years ago. Akira Emoto plays a former detective who was the only one to feel a sense of unease at the time, connecting sealed memories to the present.

When the quietly accumulating past and present intersect, an unexpected truth emerges.

Furthermore, on the police side, heavyweights like Kotaro Satomi and Ken Ishiguro line up, adding a definite sense of tension to the work.

Takashi Nikaido plays a young forensic scientist who, admiring Dojo, earnestly confronts the incident, bringing a fresh breeze to the story. In addition, people encountered on the journey, played by Tomochika and Gin Maeda, add local warmth and realism. Encounters connected by haiku, memorable words, and an unshakeable sense of unease――.

A story that quietly approaches the truth while empathizing with human emotions. Attention is focused on the new world of 'The Traveling Medical Examiner' woven by the luxurious cast.
