Sawako Honna is 42 years old and taking life into her own hands by striking out on her own as an independent consultant for film promotion. Working for yourself has its ups and downs, but she's finally making the effort to improve her work-life balance, even through menopause and unexpected health scares. Life is looking up, her romantic relationship with Arioka growing deeper despite the looming specter of his terminal illness. As the ordinary days pas by — some good, and some bad — she finds herself more and more grateful to realize that it's never too late to choose to make the most out of each and every day.
