Description:

In a charming old house within a bustling port city, Chinatsu and her mother Akiko enjoy a life of simple pleasures and shared happiness. Chinatsu, recently accepted into an arts university, finds herself deeply engrossed in her studies, particularly challenged by her first university paper. The assignment, requiring her to delve into the cherished yet complex memories of her first love, stirs a profound 'atsui munasawagi'—a passionate agitation—within her heart.

However, their serene existence is shattered when Akiko stumbles upon a chilling paper notice in Chinatsu’s room. It's a call for a reexamination of her daughter's breast cancer screening. The discovery plunges Akiko into overwhelming heartbreak, replacing their once joyful days with a mother's profound fear and a looming shadow over Chinatsu's physical well-being. This unexpected turn forces them to confront a future far removed from their ordinary, happy lives.
