Yuma is a grown woman now with the obligations and duties that come with it. Nevermind that she went 37 seconds without breathing upon birth, which resulted in her developing and living with cerebral palsy. She is disabled. She is striving to perform under the duress while juggling an aspiration to become a manga artist. With the world using her, and the reality that comes with her disability, she embarks on a sexual exploration in order to understand the subject matter demanded of her by an employer. —aghaemi

Top review

10/10

This is a 10 - Beautiful, dramatic, emotional film.

I've reviewed 41 movies for IMDB over the space of 10 years...this is my only 10.

37 seconds is a beautiful, emotional movie, a wonderful story of a determined girl to do things she wanted to do, breaking out of her comfort zone, and how she deals with the challenges of the life she lives. Its a wonderful story of the challenges of parenthood, and dealing a daughter with special needs. Absolutlely incredible movie... probably cried in this movie more than any other. Completely underated, one of Japan's best.
