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.”

Review:

I've cried my eyes out watching this because just to think all those horrible things really happened make me so sad. I think everyone should watch it because you'll see life with other eyes. Trust me.
