I’m STILL on the mend
Business Overview
Komogomodan created a novel based on the diary of its representative Tomoka ISHIHARA during her hospitalization. Ishihara developed adult Still's disease in 2023, and spent about two months in the hospital recording his days dealing with the disease and the "joys and sorrows" he witnessed and heard in the ward. In this film, he created a book and stage based on his experiences, and reexamined the "fluctuations in life" caused by illness and the nature of recovery from a perspective different from that of welfare and medical care.
