[ Story ]
A screen adaptation by TANAKA Sumie of a HAYASHI Fumiko novel. Frustrated by growing tensions at home – such as her elder sister Mitsuko's being approached by her deceased husband's mistress to provide child support for the child he secretly fathered – Kiyoko ends up emotionally confronting her mother, telling her "You shouldn't have had me." Kiyoko's world-weary yet resilient approach to life is portrayed by means of elegantly composed shots and the director's eye for subtle gestures. SAITO Ichiro's piano compositions also enchant throughout.
