Adapted from Kurosawa’s 1552 film “Ikiru,” the story follows an ordinary man (portrayed by Bill Nighy), reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow existence, who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful — into one he can say has been lived to the full.
