Plot
What would you do if you only had six more months left to live? What if this suddenly happens at the prime time of your life? The main character is a hard working business man, Yukihiro Fujiyama, 48, who suddenly receives a pronouncement that he is in the terminal stages of lung cancer. With only six months left to live, he tries to ascertain what his life meant. His wife, Miwako, fully accepts his decision to "live the moment" rather than seek life-prolonging treatment. Confronted with "death", the couple discovers each other anew as they try to enjoy every minute of the remaining time.
