Sekai Kara Kibo ga Kietanara.

[Machine Translation] If life were to end tomorrow, what could you do now? How did I feel when I was suddenly told that I was going to die, and how did I climb out of the depths of despair and achieve "resurrection"? The pressure of work, family differences, and illness - the despair of mid-life that most people cannot overcome. This film beautifully depicts a "true hero" who crawls out of such suffering with the strength of an ant, awakens to his mission, and puts his life on the line for the sake of the people of the world. The screenplay is by Sakiyaka Okawa. The main character, Shin Miso, is played by Hisaki Takeuchi in his first lead role in a film. His wife Isoko is played by Tamao Sato, and Miko Sengan co-stars as Saori, a secretary who respects and supports Shin behind his back. The film's talented actors, including Ryo Tamura, Yoshimi Ashikawa, and Tamotsu Ishibashi, add persuasive power to the profound story. Directed by veteran filmmaker Hiroshi Akahane. A masterpiece filled with mysterious emotions was born, encouraging those suffering from illness, frustration, and family problems, and questioning what is the meaning of life and true love. --Goso Shin is a best-selling author and publisher himself. He is blessed with a wife and three children, but he has a "secret" that he cannot tell anyone. One day, on his way home, Shin felt a pain in his chest and went for a walk in the garden to get some fresh air. There, a wedding was taking place. Just as he was thinking of his daughter's future bride-to-be, he suffered a severe heart attack and collapsed on the spot. As he is about to lose consciousness, he finds a copy of Tolstoy's "Resurrection" in his hand. At the hospital where he was rushed to, he was told by the doctor that his death was imminent.
