In life, you don't know what you've got until it's gone...
INTRODUCTION
Veteran TV director Kan Ishibashi has helmed numerous fondly remembered drama series, in which he has constantly addressed contemporary themes. Now he has accomplished his long-held ambition of making his first cinematic feature.
Upon learning that Ishibashi was to direct, Japan's most prominent actors agreed to appear before they even saw the script.
In these times when we are all searching for direction in life, this film guides us toward the answers we seek: connections between people; the important things we need to keep moving forward in life, but tend to lose sight of; and the people we have lost, who lived their lives to the fullest.
