Yukiko (Chieko Baisho) and Masaru (Tatsuya Fuji) have been married for 5 decades. However, despite this impressive persistence, it seems that there is not much life left in their marriage. Yukiko, a dutiful obedient wife, silently takes care of her husband like the loyal servant, while he doesn’t seem to care. He is semi-retired, so if he wished, he could spend quality time with his spouse, but instead, he prefers to visit a shogi club. Whenever the fateful couple is together, Masaru hardly notices Yukiko’s presence and doesn’t bother to listen to her, while she is trying to connect with him. He also takes Yukiko’s commitment for granted – as if she were a piece of furniture in their apartment. It is just obvious for him she is there, doing the chores and preparing meals. Their estrangement is loud and clear, and watching the pair is somehow a painful experience.
