The movie consists of 4 stories each telling how people survive on life-death choice.

Story 1: Cheer girl

"I should force myself to smile"

Chiharu leads a group of cheerleading group who carry mission to cheer people voluntarily. They make achievement by cheering more and more people every single day. No matter how silly their cheers are *for me*, they always succeed bringing desperate people into alive again. They're so great that tv station went to interview them.

However, Chiharu's personal life is not that enthusiastic. Her boyfriend accuses her for being hypocrite and narcissist. Then, she realizes that her cheering only leads people to negative acts. 

Story 2: Boys? meet girl

"Each person has something special to shine"

Muratsubaki Konosuke (Nakamura Aoi) is a shy boy who's currently falling in love with the cutest girl in his class. Knowing that she's out of his league, Konosuke disguises himself as woman to get closer to the goddess.

At least Aoi kun shows some talent in acting. I choose this part as my favorite in the movie.

Story 3: Claim Night

"You may be pro at apologizing, but apologize doesn't solve everything"

A woman calls Electricity Service Center to complain her shut off. She really wants to have Shabu-shabu tonight, but the elctricity is off since she hasn't pay yet. Despite feeling guilty, she arrogantly complains to the electric company that Mr Sakai, the call center supervisor visits her that night.

Getting apologized and compensate so much, she starts to feel like Mr. Sakai got something for her. Will the claim night ends into something romantic?

Story 4: The house full of "abandones" business men

"I just couldn't ignore the poor things"

Ms. Okada is a housewife who always minds other people's problem. She doesn't even know how to stop digging somebody's pain that she ends up meeting a lot of failed business men. However, her generosity forces her to help them by letting them refuging in her house.

So, this is the common type of housewife in the world: woman who only knows how to deal with chores? She's too bored of her own life that she bothers other people's business.
