(japan) Miyano Maoko And Isono Maho

79K0

A cancer-stricken philosopher who has spent his life studying accidents, an anthropologist rooted in the medical field, and two intellectual women who met by chance decided to start a soul-filled communication around "disease". When one party's physical condition suddenly deteriorates, their relationship takes an unexpected turn, and they find themselves "sharing souls and destiny" with the other party. Through dialogue, they are able to experience each other's presence and discover something new with language - deftly breaking down the discursive traps surrounding illness and understanding what it means to truly be in relationship with others. Everything they avoided talking about out of fear, ignored and erased as they were taken for granted, gradually surfaced in their conversations. It turns out that two people's hearts can be so close, and it turns out that we can still have such a sincere conversation.
