​

A young girl grows bitter of her absent father and falls sick to Hanahaki, as she yearns to get her feelings off her chest.

​

“Hanahaki Disease is a fictional disease where someone begins coughing up flower petals because they have unrequited feelings for someone.

The flowers can grow in the stomach, lungs, or heart, though it is traditionally in the lungs. Hanahaki Disease is a painful, slow disease that often develops over months, if not years, and begins with coughing up a few petals, and grows in intensity and pain until the victim is coughing up entire flowers, at which point the disease has reached its final stages.

Death by Hanahaki Disease is tragic but beautiful.

The victim is killed from within by something as beautiful as flowers.

Despite how deadly Hanahaki Disease is, it can be instantly cured if it turns out the other person likes the dying person back.

A cure often means that the person will lose their feelings for the person they love.”

Loosely based on Japanese folklore the film is shot in Japanese.
