A heartbreaking and beautiful story.

The film is about two 17-year-old boys, the girl only has 6 months to live and the boy only one year to live.

It is a strange story to see, it usually happens that only one of the two characters is sick and dies. But in this case they were both in the same situation, only one had longer to live than the other.

The two really had no desire to live, and at first they surrendered to their destiny, but thanks to they met they both learned to want to live.

Although neither of them said it implicitly, through the meaning of the flowers they already knew that they loved each other.

There are no unnecessary dramas or anything like that, you just see how they try to spend as much time together. And when Haruna dies, Akito tries to make the most of his remaining time for Haruna.

I'm not a person who cries easily but this movie made me cry. Maybe it's because I'm going through something familiar. And I don't know if I'll make it to my 30s.

The important thing about this movie is that although life can be cruel and you don't even know why you have to experience things like that, when we are supposed to have a whole life ahead of us, it makes us appreciate every moment we live as if it were our last. Not to give up even though we already know the result. Just enjoy the company of a loved one, a friend or your family. Those are the moments you should cherish, even if they are small and other people think they are insignificant.

It really is a gem, I cried a lot but I'm glad I saw it.

The performances are impeccable and although the cinematography focuses more than anything on the hospital, the production made the hospital look like the characters saw it. A beautiful place, with many meaningful moments.

I didn't listen to the OST much. When I have more time I will listen to it calmly but from the little I was able to hear I liked it a lot.

You will cry, that's for sure, but you will take away a great life lesson.
