## Plot

A house in a corner of downtown Tokyo. A police officer who came to investigate the family register confirms Tokiko Amemiya, a borrower, and Shuichi, Tokiko's husband, who has not returned from the war. Tokiko went to her best friend Akiko's apartment with her only son, Hiroshi. This is to have the kimono on hand exchanged for money. Tokiko works as a sewing machine in-house, but because of the high cost of supplies, her life is difficult, so she sells kimonos. However, this is the last kimono for sale. Akiko brings in the kimono that she kept with her neighbor, Orie, who is in the dark business, but Orie makes Akiko uncomfortable by saying, "Tokiko is beautiful, so if you feel like it, you can easily earn money." It was.

When Tokiko returned home, Hiroshi had a high fever. At the recommendation of the landlord, Hikozo and Tsune, the doctor said that he had a catarrh . It must have been caused by the anko ball that was fed on the way back from Akiko's apartment. The next morning, Hiroshi's condition recovered, but the nurse asked him to pay the hospitalization fee, and Tokiko, who had no savings, felt gloomy again.

The next day, Akiko visited Tokiko. Akiko, who heard from Orie himself that Tokiko went to an ambiguous inn with Orie's introduction and sold her body, accuses her of why she didn't consult with her best friend first. Tokiko knew that Akiko's way of life was difficult, so she could only answer that she couldn't afford it. Hiroshi, who was completely recovered, was discharged from the hospital, but Tokiko felt regret for what she had done.

A few weeks later, when Tokiko and Hiroshi went home to play with Akiko and Arakawa Bank, Shuichi was back. The couple were happy to see each other for the first time in four years, but that night, when Hiroshi talked about his growth and asked, "Did you get sick while you were away?", Tokiko was hospitalized with a catarrh. I will talk about that. Tokiko couldn't answer and started crying when Shuichi asked how he had to pay for it.

Akiko, who came back after learning about Shuichi's return, advises that he should not tell Shuichi about Hiroshi's hospitalization. However, Tokiko, who couldn't hide it, was after she had confided everything to Shuichi. Shuichi visits his old friend Satake for job hunting and is pointed out by Satake that something is wrong, but he cannot answer anything. When Shuichi returned home, he quickly asked Tokiko about the details of the matter without being in a good mood. Tokiko talks about the inn being in Tsukishima and the sign "Sakurai" on the back of the elementary school, but he remained silent about the core. The frustrated Shuichi jumped out.

The next day, Shuichi went to "Sakurai" in Tsukishima and heard about Tokiko from the proprietress who responded. While talking to the young woman who called her to the room, Shuichi heard that her mother and brother had died in the war and that she was feeding her old father and student's younger brother. Shuichi tells the chasing woman, "I'm looking for a job, so be stubborn." Shuichi, who visited Satake again, asked for the care of the woman's job, but said that Tokiko's case made her feel unstable. "It's strange that I can forgive the woman and not the wife," Shuichi replies, "I know it was unavoidable, but I can't calm down."

Tokiko greets Shuichi, who returned home without feeling well, and apologizes for his mistake again. Shuichi, who is about to leave the room, pushes him away with the momentum he tries to shake off Tokiko, and Tokiko rolls upside down from the stairs. Shuichi is surprised and calls out to Ko when he is still lying down. When he finally realized that he was dragging his legs back to the room, Shuichi cried and apologized and said, "Forget what has passed and let's start over."
