A couple are seen at home. The woman says a heartfelt prayer while the man looks up from his newspaper, holding a cup of tea. They both look out of the window. In the sky above their house a giant angel is flying past. A forest has grown on the angel's back. In the forest three creatures sit around a table and playing cards. The cards are laid out and feature different images: three cards depicting babies jump down a hole in the middle of the table and begin a journey through the body of the angel. They stop in a cave where a creature plays the harp for them and turns the cards into tears. The tears fly through the air out of the angel's eyes and one of them reaches the woman's womb. In the next scene she is seen sitting at home, with her cat, contentedly stroking her own pregnant belly. The next scene is an exterior: a field with a lone tree growing on it. The man is dancing and walking towards the tree: behind the tree he finds his partner, the woman, holding a baby. They all smile at each other.

Where it came from
The Place Where We Were is a television movie produced by TV Saitama, emerging from the studio's initiative to create regional content that resonates with local audiences. It was developed during a period when independent and regional television stations in Japan sought to differentiate themselves through unique, self-produced feature-length narratives rather than relying solely on syndicated programming.
The film is characterized by a deliberate, atmospheric aesthetic, prioritizing mood and character development over high-octane spectacle. While the specific production team remains less documented in international archives than major national network projects, the work is noted for its adherence to a contemplative style typical of Japanese independent dramas. Upon its broadcast, it was received as a modest, earnest contribution to the regional broadcasting landscape, valued primarily for its specific sense of place and focus on intimate storytelling.
