After his father Keizo falls ill, Masato Takahashi reluctantly quits medical university to take over his family’s clinic. Masato has his pride and had been intent on advanced medical research, not giving care to local patients and their families, and he doesn’t hide his feelings on the subject when working with colleagues and care workers like the care manager Natsumi Sato. This leads to him being isolated at work but he begins to change his attitude after meeting patients and starting to understand the value of home medical care.
This human drama depicts the challenges of an ageing society and gives the limelight to some of the hardest working people in society, care workers and medical professionals.
