REAL GN (2025)
People who want to change their circumstances always have to struggle to achieve their goals. Progress is anything but direct-it proceeds forward and back, via gains and setbacks alike. The key is to keep moving forward, stopping only for a moment. Nomiya, Togawa, and Takahashi all face the choice of embracing their future or ceasing their progress every single day. Will this be the day that they finally surrender? Or will this be the day that they begin to move forward? For older teen audiences.
"Out of shape and out of practice, Nomiya comes to terms with the reality of where he's at in basketball and in life. Meanwhile, Togawa faces one of the biggest disappointments in his wheelchair basketball career. And just when Takahashi finds a glimmer of hope in playing ball again, he's confronted by the enormity of how much he has to overcome. Will their passion for the game be strong enough to pull them through? For older teen audiences. "
