Dear Friends
Are friends necessary?
Directed by Kazuyuki Morosawa
Produced by Toei Company
A character-driven drama about a self-absorbed woman confronting mortality and the true meaning of friendship through illness.
Rina is the it girl. She is thin, has long hair, is flaunting and dresses attractively. Every man wants to be with her and every woman wants to be like her. She also happens to be self-absorbed, mean and nasty.
