Description

[Machine Translation] Master filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi directs the long-awaited film adaptation of Naoki Prize-winning author Kiyoshi Shigematsu's bestseller, starring the hottest actress of the moment, Hiromi Nagasaku! A moving life symphony that tenderly depicts a family facing "death" and various people's "lives" intersecting with each other! Hiromi Nagasaku passionately plays the role of the wife who has been told she has little time left to live. The husband is played by Kiyotaka Minamihara, and the film also stars Toshio Kakei, Toru Minegishi, and many other talented actors. --Kendai is a successful illustrator who runs a design office. His wife, Toshiko, has been a good partner since their unsuccessful days, and they are struggling to raise their two growing sons. One day, Toshiko complains of a physical ailment, and as a result of an examination, she is suddenly told that she has little time left to live. With tomorrow cut off from their lives, the two are at a loss and in despair, but after consulting with each other, they try their best to live out the few remaining days of their lives in preparation for the coming "the day"... A 2-disc set with a bonus disc (approx. 60 min.) of bonus footage produced by director Nobuhiko Obayashi himself: a close-up documentary, interviews, the 2008 Tokyo International Film Festival, and the opening speech on November 1, 2008.
