Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Mitsuko has a prestigious job as an editor at a publishing company, while her husband Tomatsu works as a freelance photographer, but he spends all of his time taking care of housework. One day, Mitsuko suspects Tomatsu is having an affair with Mayu, a model, and immediately throws him out. With no place to go, he moves in with Mayu, disrupting her affair with Nakazaki, who happens to work with Mitsuko.
