照惠（原田美枝子 饰）在丈夫去世之后，和女儿深草（野波麻帆 饰）一起过着相依为命的生活。某日，照惠同母异父的弟弟武则找到了阔别已久的姐姐，这场重逢让照惠渐渐回忆起了自己不那么美好的童年。照惠的父亲陈文雄（中井贵一 饰）死后，无人照拂的照惠被送进了孤儿院。某一日，她失 踪已久的母亲丰子（原田美枝子 饰）忽然现身，将照惠领回了家。然而，丰子却并不能好好的对待照惠，对她动辄打骂，只有在替母亲梳头的时候，照惠才能够得到一点点的肯定。终于，无法忍受这样的日子的照惠选择了离家出走。如今，丰子在一个小小的渔村之中经营着一间美容院，照惠决定去看一看母亲。

当两个不和的邻居之一被诊断为晚期癌症时，他们之间不可能的兄弟情谊就变成了意想不到的友情。突然面对的死亡，两兄弟（他们玩了一个叫Paddleton的游戏，赢的一方可以提出一个要求）决定去旅行。然而，随着他们的经历揭示出友谊的真正纽带——以及那意味着两个男人之间使用幽默来避免表达任何真实的情感，他们的文字旅程变成了一个隐喻性的旅程。导演亚历克斯·雷曼用一个有趣的、鼓舞人心的故事逗你开心，同时提出了一个问题触动你的心：爱在行动中是什么样子的？雷·罗曼诺(Ray Romano)是一个永远的悲观主义者，他努力为他的病友寻找希望的时刻。马克·杜普拉斯(Mark Duplass)是令人心碎的，他向命运投降，却又想享受离开的每一刻。雷曼在旅行类电影中巧妙地运用了情感的深度，这证明了这部电影的力量和其核心的友谊。

Canadian surgeon Dr. Norman Bethune (Donald Sutherland) journeys 1,500 miles into China to reach Mao Zedong's eighth route Army in the Wu Tai mountains where he will build hospitals, provide care, and train medics. Flashbacks narrate the earlier events of his life: a bout with tuberculosis at the Trudeau sanatorium; the self-administration of an experimental pneumothorax; the invention of operative instruments; his fascination with Socialism; a journey into medical Russia; and the founding of a mobile plasma-transfusion unit in war-torn Spain. Bethune twice married and twice divorced his wife Frances (Dame Helen Mirren), who chooses abortion over child-rearing in her unstable marriage. By 1939, Bethune had been dismissed from his Montreal Hospital for taking unconventional risks, and from his volunteer position in Spain for his chronic problems of drinking and womanizing. As his friend states: "China was all that was left." Even there, Bethune confidently ignores the advice of Chinese officials until heavy casualties make him realize his mistake and lead him to a spectacular apology.
