The title of this film is called 'One Litre Tears'. It is a Japanese short series based on a true story. It was a few years back when I watched this. I would like to share this here because it is a very motivating movie. For those that have not seen it i would highly recommend it to you. But before you start watching, please prepare a box of tissue or a pail next to you as it is just as the title suggest, you'll end up crying a litre of tears ...... or maybe even more.
Well the story is about how a girl, Kitou Aya, faces the challenges in her life after she was diagnosed with a very rare disease called spinocerebellar degeneration - which is incurable and will eventually lead to death. As for the rest, please watch the movie.
After watching this movie i feel thankful for having such a healthy body to acheive my dreams. Eventhough occasionally there are some incidents that puts us down but no matter what they are, it is of no comparison to what Kitou Aya has to face.
Below is the English translated lyrics of the theme song for this movie.
Only Human - KOn the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
But before we can go there,
is there something we’re waiting for?
In order to chase our dreams,
we can’t have a reason to run away
We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day
If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh
Because like a boat that opposes the stream
we have to walk straight on
In a place worn down by sadness
something called a miracle, is waiting
Yet we are still searching for the sunflower
that grows at the end of spring
The warrior who awaits the morning light
before he can clasp it with red nails,
his tears glitter and fall
Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness
only relying on the light of the moon
We have to fly away with featherless wing
just go foward, just a little further
As the rainclouds break
the wet streets sparkling
Although it brings only darkness
A powerful, powerful light
helps push us to walk on
