In a life-or-death exchange, they sign a contract forbidding love—only to stumble upon the essence of it.

Set against the emotionally charged backdrop of organ transplantation, this film offers a poignant exploration of love, marriage, and the boundaries between duty and desire. Two terminally ill patients enter a legal marriage—not out of romance, but as a strategic means to improve their chances of survival. Bound by a contract stipulating they must not fall in love, their relationship evolves as they care for one another and slowly form an unspoken connection. As their conditions fluctuate and mortality looms, they are compelled to question the very foundation of their bond. Is marriage merely a contractual obligation, or can genuine affection emerge from necessity? Through this unconventional union, the film delves into themes of commitment, sacrifice, and the quiet ways love can take root—even where it’s forbidden.
