Funahashi Kazuo was born with cerebral palsy, which left him with physical disabilities. He wasn't expected to live more than 20 years, but is still strong at 74. His wife, Mizue, helps him communicate with those around him. Fifty years ago a documentary was made about Kazuo's adventures with his friends with physical disabilities. Now, we follow the couple along with their two daughters and grandson, as they enjoy dining out, traveling, going to baseball games, and living life to the fullest.
