Description: After accident, illness and the loss of his job and marriage, forty-eight-year-old Taura meets Mutsuko, setting his already derailed life even further off course. Their first encounter is, unseen, in an over-crowded hospital. It later transpires that the mysterious Mutsuko is in her late sixties, but when they next meet she appears to be younger in age, and the two fall seemingly and hopelessly in love.
Notes: Translated from the Japanese.
