Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World / Sekai no Chushin de, Ai wo Sakebu / 世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ

Based on this century's top best-seller which has sold a million and a half copies since published in 2001, the film depicts a tragic romance in the years before the advent of cell phones. It reveals a young man's pang of forfeiture after the death of his first love and the uneasiness of his soul wandering in the world without her.

Matsumoto Sakutarou is an unmarried middle-aged man who has some type of job at a hospital. It seems that he might have some health problems as he collapses at the beginning of the first episode. He's never been able to fall in love since high school, because he can never forget the girl he loved. Now, he lives only to keep her memory alive and he carries a vial of her ashes in his pocket wherever he goes.

The drama keeps flashing between the present, and back to the 80's when Sakutarou (Yamada) is in high school and falling in love with Hirose Aki. Their romance begins when their class is attending a funeral for a teacher and Aki is giving a speech in the rain. Saku uses his umbrella to cover Aki as she is giving her speech....
