Deserted by her husband, Futaba must close her bathhouse and look after her daughter Azumi alone. When she is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Futaba wastes no time on self-pity, but decides to reunite her family and heal the wounds of the past. Filled with tender humor, Ryota NAKANO’s drama was one of last year’s big cinema hits in Japan, with several awards going to lead actress Rie MIYAZAWA.
