An early TV project by the venerable Ryûsuke Hamaguchi. It's a pretty simple setup for a drama, but Hamaguchi is rather good at drawing out simple setups. The TV roots of the film aren't working in its favor, but at the same time, I've seen much worse, so kudos to Hamaguchi for dealing with that variable rather efficiently.
If I explain any more about the story than I covered just about the entire film. You won't be watching this film for the plot though. Instead, there are some nice performances and Hamaguchi deals with the situation in an interesting way. A pleasant, though very basic and simple drama.
