Partners - Modoken Chie no Monogatari - (English Subtitles)

[Machine Translation] A touching story of love and hope between people and their guide dogs, co-starring famous actors, has been released in a barrier-free version! In addition to the fresh performances of Yosuke Asari and Chihiro Otsuka from "Code Blue: Doctor Helicopter Emergency Rescue," the film also features Isao Natsuyagi, Mami Kumagai, and Maiko Kawakami, all of whom add color to the story. --The death of an acquaintance triggers Tsuyoshi Oyamauchi to enroll in a guide dog training school and become an associate guide dog trainer. His first dog, Chie, was left with his foster parents, the Hasegawa family, who called him "puppy walker" when he was two months old, and lived with them for ten months. Tsuyoshi is troubled by his inability to communicate with Chie, who cannot forget the Hasegawa family who raised her with such love and care. He soon learns that in order to build a partnership, the most important thing is to genuinely like the other person and to be able to communicate with him or her. One day, Makoto, a singer who lost her sight in an accident during a live performance, visits the training center. Tsuyoshi and Chie work hard together to train her, opening her heart to the fact that she has closed her mind to the idea of becoming a guide dog. Chie passes the guide dog certification test and leaves Tsuyoshi to start a new life as Makoto's partner...
