Autumn in Rausu, Hokkaido is the season for salmon spawning. Pink salmon go up the river and struggle to give birth to new lives. They came to a small waterfall, but is there enough power to climb the waterfall? It can be understood that most of them are full of bruises and that their lives are scarce.
