Sinossi

Houses are the patients’ rooms and towns are the wards! This is a documentary film depicting a life of a town doctor in Amagasaki. What kind of impression do you have of the word "town doctor" and "home healthcare"? They wear white coats, have beautiful nurses, carry large bags, and are kind of pompous. There is a town doctor in Amagasaki who can turn that image upside down. I want to eat what I want! I want to spend my last days at home! I want to die painlessly! In order to protect the wishes of such patients and their families, the town doctor runs with all his might, gets angry, cries, sings, and attend deathbed of patients every day.

This is a controversial work that faces life and death set in a downtown. Dr. Nagao is the model of for the role of Kohei Nagano, played by Eiji Okuda, in the film "Peaceful Death.
