Story:

Takamura Keita and his girlfriend Eren are in a French resort located in Nice, enjoying a romantic holiday. Eren is a 20-year-old university student who's exactly half of Keita's age and was born in France. Their holiday to France also includes a visit to Eren's family who are still living there.

On the eve of his meeting with his prospective in-laws, Keita happens to meet his ex-girlfriend, Rie on the streets of Nice. They had broken up during their university days and had not seen each other since then.

The next day, Keita goes to the winery owned by Eren's parents and meets her father and 3 younger sisters. He gets the shock of his life when he realises that Rie is Eren's mother! However, he tries to reassure himself that everything will be fine since Rie is staying in France while he will be living with Eren in Japan after the wedding.

When Keita returns to Japan with Eren, a series of happenings cause him to be in a fix i.e. the reduction of staff in his department and being one of those on the tentative retrenchment list. Unknown to him, something worse is going to take place in his life...
