Plot
Visualize this. Shuhei, a 37-year old wreck of his former self with gruesome burn scars
covering his body and hair as white as a ghost, has lost the ability to hear beautiful music
and can only utter a few guttural words. Not only does he have ghastly physical scars,
but deep emotional ones too. His parents have cut him out of their life, his friends have
betrayed him and the one woman he loved is never to be seen. In order to unravel this
heartbreaking tragedy, we must turn back the pages of time 14 years to when Shuhei
was the happiest man in the world: an ambitious, handsome 22-year old from an affluent
family whom everyone envied and loved, a top medical school graduate with dreams of
becoming a professional pianist and marrying his true love Umi. The more Shuhei gave to
others, themore he lost of himself. Shuhei’s benevolent behavior of helpingothers without
thinking of himself seemingly led to his self-destruction. What could have happened to
turn his life upside down? This pensive drama with a love story theme will reveal Shuhei’s
tragic life as it makes you question your own thoughts and actions, as well as reflect on
your past, present and future.
