A talented runner who was not able to run due to injuries, meets another gifted runner who has left the track field after causing trouble. Their encounter revives their passion to run once again. As they decide to participate in an "ekiden (=marathon relay)" match, a dream for all university long-distance runners, they need to find 10 runners on the team, and eventually find students including those who have never been trained as runners. Through the training and the experience, each member finds their inner strength and the joy of feeling the wind. Based on a best-selling novel by award winning Shiwon Miura. (Shochiku)
