With a distinguished career of 89 films to his name, this ravishing melodrama turned out to be director Mikio Naruse’s last cinematic offering. When newlywed Yumiko is suddenly widowed following the death of her husband in a traffic accident, Shiro the driver responsible is so distraught and wracked with guilt that he begs for her forgiveness and offers her financial aid. Through the subsequent series of meetings and partings between the pair, bound by a sense of duty to each other, Yumiko finds herself conflicted and embroiled in an unexpected love story when she inadvertently begins to fall deeply in love with Shiro. A beautiful embodiment of Naruse’s masterful style, this is a timeless story of desire and escape.
