A 39-year-old Japanese woman undergoes fertility treatments, dealing with both physical and mental exhaustion. The story revolves around her struggles and internal battles as she fights against time and societal pressures to conceive. The narrative digs deep into her courageous journey, serving as both a voice and a beacon for countless women facing similar challenges in Japan.

In Japan, fertility and women's reproductive health have long been subjects of social pressure, often coupled with the stigma around aging and childbirth. Moreover, there's the significance of societal norms, an aging society, and the country's low birth rate, making childbearing even more looked upon. This story weaves through these cultural threads while exploring the deep-seated emotional and physical effects tied to infertility treatment.

Compared to the US or the EU, Japan has traditionally placed more social pressure on women to bear children – in line with its societal norms and familial structures. In contrast, Western societies generally show broader acceptance of women choosing to delay motherhood or forgo it altogether. Additionally, there's a more open narrative around infertility in the West in recent years, bringing awareness to the struggles that women face.
