[Machine Translation] [Since its name was announced in 1982, AIDS has caused a variety of social problems and has continued to shock people. Nonfiction writer Shoko Ieda tackled AIDS head-on in her OYAKE PRIZE-winning book, "Hug Me and Kiss Me," in which she describes her various thoughts and feelings while interacting with infected people, called carriers. The film is the first time that this bestselling book has been made available to the public. 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.... Keiko eventually finds a ray of light for her life, supported by various kinds of love. Yoko Minamino, who plays the lead role, has challenged herself to play the role by going on an excessive diet. She plays the main character, Keiko Goda, with a truly physical performance, and is supported by many famous actors who supported the film project, including Hidekazu Akai, Kaho Minami, and Tomokazu Miura.
