Umi no Ue no Kimi wa, Itsumo Egao 2009 / 海の上の君は、いつも笑顔。 2009 / You Are Always Smiling On The Sea

17-year old high school student and basketball player Migiwa has a secret crush on a boy named Riku. One day, Riku asks her if she surfs, and without thinking she lies and says she does. Migiwa quickly begins practicing on her own to cover for her lie, but when she gets swept up in a wave, the board drifts away from her and gets lost. Panicked, she hops on her bike and pedals around the coastal area of Shonan looking for anywhere it may have washed up. Like a typical road movie, she meets various people in her travels and experiences some personal growth.
