[ Story ]
Inose Tsuyoshi, 30, decides to start a new life. He has muscular dystrophy and needs constant care, but he wants to leave the welfare facilities for the disabled and launch his own support group. He invites his younger brother Yasuo, 24, who also has muscular dystrophy but lives at home, to join him. The two brothers begin their new independent life in an apartment with care providers coming in around the clock on shift.
Yasuo was once active in a music band, but had stopped after he left the hospital and his friends to live at home. Tsuyoshi suggests he start singing again, in commemoration of their new life. The brothers decide to form a new band with their care providers and begin to practice… A young filmmaker, born 1982, created this unconventional documentary about life decisions and emotional ties, on commission from these two brothers who have lived near death all their lives.
