 Description
[Machine Translation] [Toho DVD Masterpiece Selection] The four great stars of the film play their roles with aplomb and sparkle, and Kawabata Yasunari's masterful brush strokes leap onto the silver screen! --Namiko (Takamine Mieko), a ballet teacher, has been married to university professor Yagi (Yamamura Satoshi) for 20 years. Yagi is suspicious of Namiko's relationship with Takehara ( Hiroshi Ninomiyanagi ), with whom Namiko had a relationship before their marriage, and has his college-age son, Takao ( Akihiko Katayama ), keep an eye on their relationship. However, the relationship between Namiko and Takehara is platonic. Their daughter, Shinako ( Mariko Okada ), is performing on stage as a ballerina, just as Namiko had hoped. One day, Namiko can no longer stand Yagi's constant cold attitude and leaves home... A former prima donna wife who entrusted her ballet dream to her daughter, and a husband who turns his back on reality and treats his wife coldly. The film depicts their bitter and cold relationship with a quiet touch. Based on a serialized newspaper novel by Kawabata Yasunari.
