Aya is a 15-year-old girl. Good at sports, and also good at school. She lives in a big family, with 2 younger sisters, and one brother. One morning, as she had to hurry to not miss the highschool exam, she runs and falls down on the ground. Another event like this occurs again, she falls down again but doesn't use her hands to lesser her falling. Which makes her mother worried. Also, she often drops objects that she has in her hands. Her mother decides then to bring her to hospital to check if everything's good. Then her parents find out that she has a genetical incurable fatal disease : Spinocerebellar Ataxia. A disease that makes you lose your abilities to move, walk and talk, little by little. Until she gets stuck in a hospital bed without being able to move at all, but still conscious and aware. A very cruel disease. Despite her disease, Aya tries to smile at life and fights against her illness.

My opinion : It's a very sad TV series! But very touching also! Because Aya's braveness to fight against her disease, a very inspirational series about life, we get aware of the less importance of our small problems compared to Aya's life. We find out how much life is important. Aya is a girl full of braveness, trying to be happy, despite her weaker moments, trying to enjoy life despite her incurable disease... It's a TV series you have to see ! You can watch it on Youtube with English subtitles. If you decide to watch it, bring your tissues with you!
