We follow Alek Pashkowski and Vadym Bezvuliak, a Ukrainian music duo that's been entertaining audiences in Nagasaki Prefecture's Sasebo City since 2014. Though Russia's invasion of their homeland has brought many hardships, they've received support from the people of Nagasaki. To express their gratitude, Alek and Vadym are going to perform Ue Wo Muite Aruko, an iconic song from Japan's postwar recovery, at a local festival. We also visit Spanish-born Anna Fornieles Orti who runs a pottery school in Osaka.
