Shu no kafun

1960 · 1h 22m · Drama

A short time after the war in Tokyo. Hamana, who was formerly a military police officer, had fallen into the role of a black market broker and had brought his former lover, Kameko, into his home, constantly clashing harshly with his wife, Kikue. Kikue could no longer endure such days and decided to run away with her young son, Kikofu. Learning of this, her brother-in-law, Itaro, tried to support Kikue. However, the pillar of Kikue's heart was the shadow of Takenaka, her former teacher from girl's school days, whom she had deeply admired.
