Movie
Description
Shizuku "Drop" Sakuma is a teenage boy who moves from Iceland to a rural Japanese town. He has blonde hair and green eyes. He befriends the previously isolated Roma Kamogawa, joining Roma's small group called the "Don Glees," which previously included only Roma and his childhood friend Hokuto "Toto" Mitarai. Drop possesses a positive, straightforward personality with an underlying sense of mystery. He openly states he came to Japan searching for a personal "treasure," though its nature is initially undefined.
Drop convinces Roma to spend savings on a drone to film fireworks. When a forest fire occurs that same night, the Don Glees are falsely accused via social media of starting it with the drone. To prove their innocence, Drop leads Roma and Toto into the mountains to retrieve the lost drone, which might contain exonerating footage. During the hike, Drop shares personal reflections, including discovering an isolated telephone booth near a golden waterfall in Iceland. He introduces the idea that everyone should have a "treasure" they value above all else. He subtly references past hospital stays and asks his friends existential questions about regrets if the world ended.
The journey reveals tensions, particularly Toto's resentment of Drop potentially replacing him in Roma's friendship. Drop acts as a catalyst, encouraging the others to confront fears and future aspirations, helping Toto admit reluctance to follow his father's wish for a medical career. While lost, Drop's voice breaks with emotion, hinting at deeper struggles.
After retrieving the drone, Drop dies shortly after. His death devastates Roma, leading to the destruction of the Don Glees' clubhouse. Among the wreckage, Roma and Toto find two Coca-Cola bottles containing a hand-drawn map of Iceland marking an "X" at the telephone booth. This prompts them to travel to Iceland. At the golden waterfall, they find the functional phone booth and realize Drop had answered a misdialed call they intended for their classmate Tivoli Urayasu, connecting them before meeting. A note left by Drop clarifies his "treasure" was friendship and companions for his final adventure, implying his awareness of a terminal illness throughout.
Posthumously, Drop's legacy profoundly impacts Roma and Toto. His philosophy about treasuring meaningful experiences and connections reshapes their perspectives and future paths. Traveling to Iceland in his memory solidifies their bond and personal growth.
