In her deep despair, the kind and magnanimous patient Jin-san Egami (played by Koji Yakusho) brings her a rare sense of warmth and comfort. During their caring conversations, this unique doctor-patient relationship builds a profound trust. Feeling that his days are numbered, Jin-san one day makes a difficult request to Ayano: he hopes she can alleviate his suffering and allow him to pass away peacefully and with dignity. In an era when "euthanasia" is not legally recognized, Ayano faces an unprecedented significant choice... This film won 4th place in the 2012 Japanese Film Magazine's Top Ten Films.
