From Miwa Nishikawa (Wild Berries, Sway) comes a new psychological drama about a small town doctor and his mysterious past. Fresh out of medical school, Soma (Eita) makes the two-hour trip from the city to a small village to assume his new post at a small clinic. The mild-mannered man in charge of the clinic, Ino (Tsurube Shofukutei), had suddenly arrived in the village several years earlier. The residents knew nothing about him, but as he began treating them for everything from minor ailments to heart disease they came to trust him implicitly. One day a young widow named Kazuko (Kaoru Yachigusa) visits Ino for a check-up after having avoided hospitals for most of her life. Through her subsequent diagnosis and treatment, an unexpected truth about Ino is eventually revealed.
