Its a Japanese drama. I find this film really weird. Because it begins by showing how bad the husband is towards the wife, bad in terms of bad in attitude and treatment. He possess this heck care attitude even when the wife is so patient and forgiving and have to bear taking care of the kid alone.
It starts of with him stealing money from the cafe house which he usually go to for a drink. And the way he steals is like wth.. The owner was counting her money in terms of hundred dollars cash. When she finished with her counting and kept it in her drawer, he calmly walk towards the drawer, push her aside and take the money and walked out. Of course the owners, followed him to his house and kindly ask for their money back. Japanese really have this polite culture. You should watch to see how kindly it was done. But he is bad, he dashed out a dagger to threatened them and escape. His wife invited them in and serve them tea and they even had a good chat. This is not at all like Singapore.
The wife decided to take the responsibility to repay them back by working for their cafe till the money is returned. And because the wife is attractive, lots of man turned up everyday to drink and by just asking her to pour drinks for them, she gets lots of tip. Somehow there was a guy who often goes to the cafe to drink to find the husband, who is a top writer, falls in love with the wife. He sends her back everyday on the train. Meanwhile, the husband has his own mistress and they wanted to go on a love suicide. So they took pills and drunk themselves. Somehow they didn't managed to die but he was charged for attempting suicide on himself and his mistress. While he was in jail, the wife still got a good lawyer for him and managed to get him out.
The wife is really forgiving and still said a line at the end of the movie which means something like as long as we are happy together. I forgot the actual line.
Its a slow moving, 2 hours film. So don't watch unless you have spare time and cash. But its only shown in Picture House. 2.3/5 Its M18, only because of one small sex scene. That's really stupid.
