YesAsia Editorial Description

After the tears are shed, a new day begins...

Adapted from the same-titled novel, 1 Litre of Tears is based on the true story about a girl's long fight with an incurable disease. A collection of her diary entries, chronicling her experiences and passion and perseverance for life, were published in 1986, and the book immediately became a bestseller. Her inspiring story was adapted into both a hit TV series starring Sawajiri Erika and a moving film directed by Okamura Riki. Promising new actress Asae Onishi stars as the film's tragic heroine, while Kazuko Kato portrays her supportive mother. Keep the tissue box near, as 1 Litre of Tears promises to touch the hearts of viewers with its tragic story and universal sentiments.

One day on her way to school, middle school student Aya (Asae Onishi) suddenly falls to the ground. The doctor diagnoses her with spinocerebellar degeneration, a rare and incurable neurological disease. Entering high school, Aya's condition continues to worsen as physical movements become more difficult. Forced to attend a special boarding school, she nonetheless finds hope and happiness through the support of her new friends and family. Working hard, she completes her high school education and bravely begins a new stage in her life, despite her weak health and continuous trips to the hospital. Aya never gives up, living each day of her life to the fullest until the very end.

  這是木藤亞也14歲到21歲期間中所寫的日記,電影注滿了她努力對抗病魔及對生命熱情奮鬥的感人事蹟!

  女主角-木藤亞也,因為一場突如其來的病變「脊髓小腦病症」,使其身體運動機能衰弱,手腳自主活動與語言能力逐漸喪失,直至患病末期只能無助地躺在床上,面對生命的無助,卻勇敢地生存至最後一秒,直至生命機能停止而死亡!

  The plot is based on the true story of a Japanese girl named Aya Kito (July 29, 1963 - May 23, 1988), who had Spinocerebellar Degeneration when she was 15 years old, and was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25 years old. She kept writing in her diary to remember her experiences until she could no longer hold a pen. Aya simply wished to live until the end of her life, and the purpose of writing in the diary was to remind herself to not give up. She shed tears many times, at the same time encompassed by the rich love and support from her family and friends. Her diary 1 Litre of Tears was published shortly before her death. It encouraged many people, healthy or diseased, because of its inspiring and courageous messages. As Aya wrote, "Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing."

This customer review refers to 1 Litre Of Tears (Movie Version) (Hong Kong Version)
Thank you Aya Kito Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The movie softly depicts some moments of Aya's life especially underlining the relation with her mother and with the doctor who followed her during the progress of her sickness. Even with some concession to melodrama it captures the essence of the story, thanks also to Asae Onishi's wonderful performance, dealing with a difficult theme in a simple but effective way.
The plot has a slow pace and flows linearly without surprises; director's real aim here is not to entertain but just to tell us the tragic life of this girl and a way to say thanks to Aya Kito for the suffered and encouraging words she left us.
So, while not technically nor artistically over the average, the movie succeedes in its purpose to let us discover this sad story and forward to us the message contained in Aya's diary, trying to make the viewer look at life from a different perspective.
