Based on this best-selling nonfiction book, master director Junya Sato has created an original drama that sincerely depicts "AIDS" and "love. Keiko Goda, who works for a travel agency, is suddenly confronted with the shocking truth that she has contracted AIDS. While she is tormented by the shock and despair, a new life and a new love sprout, as well as a solid friendship with a journalist....
