Based on the best selling novel by Sada Masashi, Bizan depicts the mother-daughter bond that is deepened through the revelation of the mother's tender memories.

Upon receiving notice of her mother Ryuko falling ill, Sakiko rushes back to her hometown in Tokushima. Although her mother appears in high spirits at the hospital, Sakiko is shocked to learn from the doctor that Ryuko is in the final stages of terminal cancer. With barely enough time left for Sakiko to spend with her only remaining family, Sakiko's emotions are quickly filled with despair and loneliness.
