In simple words, it introduces you to Naoichi who even at ninety-two is full of life. And then one day, while he is repairing his roof, his neighbor tells him to go easy because he is such an old man. This disheartens Naoichi and he really starts feeling he has become too old. Then, one night, he has a dream that he is planting flowers in the sky.
 
When Hatsumi, his wife, hears about his beautiful dream, she accompanies him to the nursery to buy flower seeds for the garden he will plant. How these seeds flower, bringing a bright new hope and the joy of living back into the lives of Naoichi and Hatsumi, forms the essence of this wonderfully told story.
