Nomination Detail

As childhood friends in a small country town Roma and Toto go by the name of “the DonGlees,” and have a small fireworks event together every summer. The summer of their high school freshman year, Toto is back in town from high school in Tokyo. Together with a boy named Drop they start planning their fireworks. Things don’t go as planned, then when a forest fire, cause undetermined, occurs in the mountains, they suddenly find themselves being blamed! To prove their innocence, Roma, Toto, and Drop set out to look for the drone that should have images showing that they didn’t cause the fire.

The first—and last—and most incredible mission in Don Glees history is about to begin!
