Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Koichi (Takeru Satoh) & Atsumi (Haruka Ayase) have been friends since their childhood days and they eventually became lovers. About one year ago, Atsumi attempted to commit suicide and fell into a coma afterwards. Koichi, desperate to know why Atsumi attempted suicide, takes part in a new medical procedure that involves the central nervous system. Koichi will enter the subconscious mind of Atsumi through the medical procedure.

Jack Mar 19 2026 3:42 am Probably the director's first romance? Their pure hearted devotion to each other reminded me of Titanic, lol. He's very endearing and surprisinfly good in this graceful genre bender.

Ppopopo Sep 23 2018 11:27 am So.... they worked together before stepmom. Hope this movie is a good alternatiive for their romance.lol. Gonna watch this later

tsuyoi_hikari May 16 2018 10:24 am 8/10 - Interesting and brilliant concept and got 2 of my very favourite J-actors as leads. Again, it cemented to me why Takeru is one of Japan's best actor. His acting give hints to me on what's coming later in the movie so I had fun guessing all the possible theories. The movie explores the subconscious mind on how your past contribute to the reason why this and that happen. Brilliant concept and I enjoyed this movie and all the confusing plotlines!

laura Apr 12 2017 5:18 pm i didn't watch it from the beginning but i really liked it, just saw it on german tv. there are always nice movies on arte.

Jude Apr 12 2017 3:16 pm It's pretty good

just saw this on German television

FeKimi Nov 07 2013 8:47 pm They actually build the tension pretty good although that little twist is predictable. Buuuuuttt.... why they have to ruin the ending like thaaaattt...?!?

mjw Oct 28 2013 7:39 am saw the movie last week during a flight from Asia to Europe. It is a wonderful sensitive film with interesting story and wonderful actors

wowowowow Aug 19 2013 8:38 pm wow so cool!

Kekeke.. Jul 07 2013 11:26 pm After watching the trailer I think Takeru succeeds on waking Haruka up (1:11 of the trailer)<<< (and this effing spoils me). But, will eventually fall into coma and will be trap on his own subconscious. Just a random guess but it'll be interesting if it's like that.

zattu Mar 28 2013 12:39 am My takeru I waiting for you

Sorao Yuki Feb 21 2013 11:48 am Wana see Horikita Maki and Ichihara Hayato together in a movie / drama!! Random lolx

Liza★ Feb 18 2013 8:09 pm Looking forward to see Takeru Sato ans Haruka Ayase working together!

Novita Dec 31 2012 8:43 pm can't wait to see this movie and Takeru Sato..

DaDa Oct 16 2012 2:55 pm Hmmmm...kind of reminds me of like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Looking forward to it...I hope it's not too depressing.
