One day, Sakaguchi, who has acute pancreatitis, is hospitalized for surgery. He works for an advertising agency and has a family of three: a wife and a high school daughter. His private room is crammed with flowers from his favorite restaurant, but his wife Takako seems to be taking it easy on him. Ami (Tomoka Kurokawa), who is in charge of Sakaguchi, suggests to his doctor Sasai that he should consider postoperative care instead of rushing him out of the hospital, but he brushes her off.
