Michiko (Sayuri Yoshinaga) and Makoto (Mitsuo Hamada) meet in a hospital. Michiko always acts upbeat and never seems to appear ill despite having osteosarcoma. When Makoto recovers and departs to go to university, they continue their relationship by exchanging letters. However, Michiko sends a farewell note when she discovers that there is very little chance of her survival. Shocked at the unexpected note, Makoto rushes to encourage her. Moved by his sincere words, Michiko decides to have an operation that will remove the left half of her face… (Nikkatsu)
