“Tsumugu-kun only has one year left to live”. With the help of her brother, who is a doctor, mother Satoko tells this lie in an attempt to light a fire under her divorced daughter who returns home with her socially withdrawn son.
As a result, Tsumugu begins to celebrate life in a reckless manner. He finds out about about the mother’s lie, but has his life has already spun totally out of control...
Set in Fujiyoshida, at the foot of World Heritage Site Mount Fuji, a single lie embroils the entire area. Everyone can take courage from the way that Tsumugu deals with life when he thinks he is going to die.
Fujiyoshida is the place where you can get the most beautiful views of Mount Fuji, which, now a World Heritage Site, is truly a symbol of Japan. Just less than one hour from Tokyo, it is a great place to visit, and is proud of its position as the water capital of Japan, providing the greatest volume of mineral water shipments in the country. They even get mineral water out of their taps!
Also, at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level, the air is always clear, and the spectacular stars in the sky feel like they could draw you in. In Fujiyoshida, where the water is clean, the air is clean, and the people’s hearts are clean, the people are always hospitable, greeting visitors with a smile, and is a wonderful place to visit and take home some souvenirs.
