Hana's Miso Soup

Chie, a young girl out of college, is diagnosed with cancer soon after becoming engaged.
Undeterred, and with an understanding that the cancer treatment will leave her unable to bear children, her marriage still begins on a happy note. Out of the blue, a miracle happens and Chie discovers she is pregnant. But her decision to keep the baby comes with a high risk for her cancer to return. After consulting with a country doctor, she adopts lifestyle changes switching her diet to traditional Japanese foods to keep her body healthy. Knowing that her time with her daughter will be short, Chie caringly passes along lessons learned to prepare her child for life without her. (Hawaii International Film Festival)
