"This is one of a series of short films produced by the skincare company SK-II. It isn't an advertisement for the company per se. Rather, it presents some thoughts of Rikako Ikee, a Japanese swimmer who was diagnosed with leukaemia and how she is trying to get back into the sport she loves. I only watched it because it was directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, and I enjoyed all his other works. It is freely available on YouTube, so if you are a fan of Koreeda or Ikee, or want a little bit of inspiration, then it is worth the 11 minutes...."
