Plot
Seiji (Tetsuya Watari) is a respected veteran doctor whose code of ethics is very strong. He believes in informed consent, the idea that patients should know everything about their condition so that they can make decisions about their treatment. He passes this code to his son, Ryo (Hideaki Takizawa), who has just become an intern. However, when a colleague gives Seiji's wife, Toko (Atsuko Takahata), a checkup and finds she has cancer, Seiji's conviction wavers. The colleague says Seiji must break the bad news to Toko, but he can't, and as he procrastinates, Toko's condition becomes more dire, creating a dilemma that is both personal and professional.
