Story:
Heaven's Coins, which derives its title from a Brothers Grimm tale, is
about a young, deaf nurse named Aya who works at a tiny clinic in Hokkaido's
outback. She was orphaned at a young age and was raised by Morioka, the
clinic's elderly head doctor. Aya has grown to love Shuichi, a young, handsome
doctor, and hopes he would set his roots down in the village. However,
Morioka tells her to forget Shuichi since a competent physician would not
stay long at a remote clinic. Shuichi was born to a family of doctors in
Tokyo, and his father is the head of a major city hospital. Shuichi's sudden
departure had left his half-brother Takumi the successor, but the notorious
playboy is vehemently disliked by the hospital staff. Heaven's Coins is
an extraordinary story of the triumph of the human spirit.
