Based on the romantic novel "10 Years to Live" (Ruka Kosaka) written by a woman suffering from an intractable disease. As a novel that is too painful, the response has spread on SNS, etc., and it has become a bestseller with over 500,000 copies. In 2017, the book was also selected as the Grand Prize in the Shizuoka Bookstore Grand Prize in the “Bunko category that you want to visualize”.
Mari (Nana Komatsu) develops an incurable disease at the age of 20, and has 10 years to live. In order not to cling to life, she had made up her mind that she would not fall in love.

A work that emphasizes the importance of living. The fresh acting of the two people highlights the sadness of the story. Yutaka Matsushige and Hideko Hara play Mari's parents, and Haru Kuroki plays her older sister. The acting of Lily Franky, the main character of the shop at the part-time job who quietly watches over Kazuto, was also good. The director is Michihito Fujii, who has a reputation for his delicate and transparent visual beauty.

Director of "Don't stop the camera!" A fine work about the theme of the Great East Japan Earthquake. I hit my chest deeply.
A story about an American film director struggling to make a ``3.11 comedy movie'' in Japan. It seems that Soda and Ueda, who were at a loss as to what "outsiders" could portray about the disaster, are directly projected.
Ueda wrote a script that connects the Los Angeles earthquake in the United States to the corona wreck, and said that he hoped that he would be able to help all people who are facing difficulties. The song in the play is also good. And this year, on the 11th, “eternal one minute” will come.
From the 4th, it will be released nationwide at Aeon Cinema Itabashi in Tokyo, Station City Cinema in Osaka, etc. 1 hour 37 minutes. (Ken)
