"A Story of Love" is about Harashima, a wealthy business man (Sanada)
who finds out he only has half a year to live. Upon meeting his doctor, he meets a local do-gooder Konosuke (Tamaki), who
lives in the very homes Harashima's company want to knock down. He also meets Konosuke's sister-in-law-to-be Kaori (Matsushima),
an innocent and sweetheart of the neighborhood and Harashima is almost instantly attracted to her. Problem? They don't know
who he really is or that it is his company that is making them homeless!
