Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Lung cancer attacks a woman’s calm daily life unexpectedly. From the moment of diagnosis, the patient shuts her heart and tears in despair. However, her doctor, her care team, her family and Eli Lilly are with her. They are the team for her to live forward with the disease. Her grandchild learns what he can do for her, her daughter cooks a box lunch for the patient, and her doctors study the treatment day and night. She gradually becomes aware of the strong bond with them. And the bond finally brings the patient to regain the strength of living with hope, from despair of lung cancer toward the positive treatment. The team wants patients to live their own lives even when they have lung cancer. The lyrics of animation speak for the common feelings of all people who support lung cancer patients, just like 'Anthem' with the same passion.
