He has a philosophy of "it takes three doctors to become one," and is a cold, elite individual who will stop at nothing to put his research into practice. However, the treatment has a side effect that Kamura himself is unaware of. After a dramatic recovery of heart function, the heart ruptures, leading to sudden death. A bureaucrat sees this side effect as a way for the elderly to "die without suffering," and aims for "the ultimate solution for a super-aging society." This bureaucrat is Sakuma (Kenichi Takito), a Machiavellian figure in the Ministry of National Life. "If we remain inactive in the face of the coming super-aging society, this country will perish. In Japan, medical advancements are progressing without questioning the pros and cons of life-extending treatment, and there are many bedridden elderly people. Do you know how many elderly people wish to die peacefully?" Sakuma cleverly approaches Kamura and plots to hijack the "dream treatment." The first subject of the treatment is Kuraki (Tatsuya Nakadai), a national actor who has retired due to heart failure. In fact, Kamura is Kuraki's illegitimate child. He has lived with resentment towards Kuraki, who abandoned his mother and him when he was young. The two meet again after about forty years and clash fiercely, but due to Kuraki's obsession with making one last film before he dies, they conduct the first clinical trial. However, the terrible side effects are revealed later... Kuraki has a time bomb inside his body. Can Kamura save Kuraki? Can he reclaim the research from Sakuma's conspiracy? And what do people desire and find at the end of their lives?
