Synopsis
After her husband dies in the war, Reiko struggles to look after the family business as it loses ground against the big supermarkets. When her brother-in-law Koji reappears, theoretically to help in the shop, he actually spends more of his time drinking and gambling before eventually telling Reiko how much he loves her.
