April Bride
Drama129 min
After a young woman learns she has breast cancer, she keeps the diagnosis from her boyfriend until the truth forces both of them to face a suddenly shortened future. Nana Eikura is Chie, whose plans for an ordinary life give way to hospital visits, family strain, and a wedding arranged under the pressure of time; Eita Nagayama's Taro refuses to step back when doctors say she has only a month left. Drawn from a true story in contemporary Japan, the film follows their relationship through illness, secrecy, and the rush toward an April ceremony.
