Ichito was a doctor working in a 24-hour clinic. due to the clinic's shortage of doctors, he had little time to rest or spend with his wife Haruna. sometimes he was forced to diagnose patients out of his area of specialty. despite hoping to work at a big hospital where he could get more free time; he was also reluctant to spend less time with the patients. one day, while clearing out the belongings of a deceased cancer patient named Azumi, he received a letter thanking him for his kindness even though he couldn't cure her sickness. he was then determined to continue saving people in the clinic he came to love.
the movie was filmed based on a novel written by an actual doctor named Natsukawa Sousuke (夏川草介). from time to time, there would be moments where the camera stopped way too long on a person's face, as if waiting for some shocking facial expression to take place. but of course, nothing of that sort did happen. other than that, it had an awesome plot, enough to introduce Ichito as well as connecting us emotionally with his struggles as well as patients. it was unexpectedly heartbreaking not only to see his cancer patient died, but to see him secretly broke down, crying his heart out alone.
