Synopsis
Sato Tomoko is an ordinary housewife who lives with her husband Kohei and young son Shunpei in a cramped housing complex. She has to work part-time to supplement the household income. Nonetheless, they are a loving, happy family. Tomoko wants to live a happier life with small luxuries. She has led a very complicated life up until now. Her parents disappeared one after another. So she dropped out of high school and worked in many part-time jobs. Tomoko wants to let her son eat genuine steak, take him to and from nursery school on an electric bicycle … … But Tomoko and Kohei never last long in any job. They instinctively resist unreasonable duties and quickly end up getting fired. At one point, both husband and wife lose their jobs at the same time.

If the writer had spent as much time trying to write a believable story as was spent on actors breaking out of character and trying to be cute with the audience, it might have been a halfway decent drama.
