Synopsis 119 minutes :
Two teenage girls harbor a desire to
witness the moment when someone dies, in order
to come face-to-face with the true meaning of
death.
Yuki works as a volunteer at a hospital’s
pediatric ward in the summer holidays of her
second year of high school. Toward the end of
last semester, a transfer student in her class
named Shiori boasted that she had seen the dead
body of her best friend, which left Yuki
feeling an indescribable sense of discomfort,
and even a little envy. A desire has grown
within her to surpass Shiori by being present
when a person actually dies. What’s more, she
wants to be the one to make that happen, in the
most amusing way. She develops close
relationships with the children she works with,
who have cruelly little time left to live, and
plots to make her dream come true. |
