On top of that, the burden of caring for her parents also falls on her before she knew it. The same goes for work. Becoming a full-time employee would give her a bigger paycheck, but that would come with responsibilities, as well as a problematic workplace complete with a boss that sexually harasses her. Lacking decisiveness and going back and forth between resignation and hope, Miyako hesitantly but surely pursues happiness. As she gets to know the feelings of Kanichi and of her parents, she, who had kept looking away from unpleasant things and running away, reexamines her life.55min. × 3 -
