I'll Die Soon (2020)

Other name: すぐ死ぬんだから, すぐしぬんだから, Sugu Shinun Dakara, I'm Gonna Die Soon, Anyway...

Description:

"I'll Die Soon" introduces Oshi Hana, a 78-year-old woman acutely aware of her fleeting time and a growing discomfort with the inevitable march of age. She finds herself strikingly different from her peers, whose acceptance of aging feels alien to her vibrant spirit. Surrounded by her loving husband, children, and grandchildren, Oshi Hana refuses to fade into the background. Instead, she embarks on a poignant and often humorous journey to defy time, relentlessly striving to appear younger than her years. Her determined efforts, from new fashion choices to unexpected beauty regimens, are more than superficial; they are a profound attempt to assert her identity and stave off the feeling of obsolescence. This personal crusade compels her family to re-evaluate their own views on aging and what it means to truly live, challenging them to see Oshi Hana not just as a matriarch, but as a woman fighting for every last drop of life and relevance.
