53-year-old Miyama Asako (Minami Kaho) is in charge of a department at a large trading company. She is doing well in her work but just as she expects another promotion, she gets a sudden transfer notice. However, Asako is treated like a hindrance at her new workplace and wonders why things have come to this. She grimly makes up her mind to resign. But her newly married daughter Aoi (Yamashita Rio) has moved back home for childbirth while her ex-husband’s (Terawaki Yasufumi) mother Tomiko (Kusabue Mitsuko) is still emotionally attached for some reason and even her care falls on Asako. It is a situation where Asako does not have the luxury to choose her job. She is so busy coping with all sorts of work that she has little concern for her own appearance. In the process, she gradually starts to realise her purpose in this society right now. |
