Synopsis
Kenta, a 17 year old student, lives with his father, his mother and his younger sister. He belongs to the basketball club and is a good player, but after an argument with the coach he leaves the club. One night, after a quarrel with his father, Kenta jumps on his motor-bike and dashes out in the rain. He smashes his anger to the speed and when a truck comes up towards him, Kenta can’t avoid it. Though surviving from the accident, he is paralysed in the lower part of the body. It is too difficult for him to accept that he has to live on a wheelchair. He refuses to see his friends and his girlfriend Kaori and thinks of suicide. One day Kenta, fortunately, watching a wheelchair basketball match in the gym meets one of the players, Makoto. He is a unique young man who, together with Ichiro, the eccentric man who shares Kenta’s hospital room, will help the boy to find a way to accept his new life.
