Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Mizutani Kei, who starred in the V Cinema production A Weather Woman that also gained popularity overseas, gives a delightfully humorous performance as the battling protagonist who gives up a glamorous nightclub career to take up farming. Thirty-five-year-old bar worker Yukie (Mizutani) marries customer Jotaro (Hamada Manabu), the eldest son of a farming family. She revels in the humble joy of being a farmer's wife. Then one day, a man named Mishima (Yoshioka Mutsuo) who once deceived Yukie reappears, and seeks a physical relationship with her.
