Based on a non-fiction masterpiece written by author Kazufumi Watanabe. Thirty-four-year-old Yasuaki Shikano can only move his neck and hands because of muscular dystrophy. He uses a wheelchair to get around. But he ditches the hospital in search of freedom and mobilizes volunteers so he can live exactly as he pleases. One day, a new volunteer named Misaki flips out at the self-indulgent Shikano and Shikano’s response is to fall head-over-heels in love with her despite the fact that her boyfriend is one of his medical student volunteers.
