When a single mother’s son falls ill while awaiting her husband’s return from the front, she turns to prostitution to cover the bill. After his return, Tokiko (Kinuyo Tanaka) comes clean to Shuichi (Shūji Sano), whose reaction jeopardizes their otherwise stable relationship.

In 2022, we covered several movies directed by Kinuyo Tanaka. A new series at the Trylon gives us an opportunity to explore the filmmaker’s better-known career as an actress with Yasujirō Ozu's A HEN IN THE WIND!
