Plot

Twenty-year-old Matsuri Takabayashi learns that she only has ten years to live due to an incurable disease. She decides to not dwell on her life and not to fall in love—until she meets a man named Kazuto Manabe at a school reunion.

Sinekatalog’s take

A young woman told she has a decade to live resolves not to fall in love, until someone changes her mind. The film follows the weepie tradition with a patient, seasonal rhythm and lovely, quiet photography. If you enjoy a gentle tearjerker about savoring ordinary time, it delivers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
