SYNOPSIS
A lonely bookworm finds a handwritten diary abandoned in a hospital waiting room. The title reads: "Living with Dying." Inside, he discovers the journal belongs to Sakura Yamauchi, the most vibrant girl in their class. Her cheerful exterior hides a devastating secret: she's dying from pancreatic disease and has only months to live. Rather than withdraw into despair, Sakura decides to spend her remaining time fully alive. She drags the reluctant bookworm into her world of spontaneous adventures and reckless joy, determined to experience everything she can before the end. Her infectious energy and refusal to accept pity gradually crack open his guarded heart. What unfolds is a delicate balance between the weight of mortality and the beauty of living without regret. The film observes how two teenagers from opposite worlds find unexpected connection through an impossible circumstance. It's about what happens when you're forced to confront your own apathy in the face of someone else's finite hope.
