Shinomiya's first feature-length directorial work centers on a 330-year-old fireworks factory that is about to be forcibly evicted. The film tells the story of young people who grew up around the factory. Keitarō has shut himself in the factory for four years to perfect the legendary "Shuhari" firework in place of his absent father. Meanwhile, his childhood friend Kaoru, who left her home due to an incident and has been living in Tokyo, visits Keitarō. In their reunion, the two hatch a surprising plan to find the secret of the long-lost firework. (The "Hana Rokushō" in the title is the Paris Green pigment once used in fireworks, and a key element in the story. "Akeru" can mean "dawn" or "daybreak.")
