This live-action film is based on a best-selling novel which has been lauded on social media as a “moving and tear-jerking” love story. It follows two individuals living on borrowed time, as they strive to leave meaningful imprints of their existence.
Diagnosed with a terminal heart disease, Akito faces the harsh reality of his limited time. Amidst his despair, he meets Haruna, who, despite living with a terminal illness herself, displays an unflinching courage towards death. As Akito, concealing his own illness, grows increasingly intrigued by Haruna, he grapples with a poignant question: Can he fall in love, knowing their time together is fleeting?
