A young man travelling through a town in Northern Japan falls in love with a hairdresser. She is, however, married – to a notorious gambler. In an act of desperation, the stranger kidnaps her to rescue her from her husband. Scared at coming too close to the man, she returns to her husband. The characters in Kobayashi’s drama are unable to escape their destiny: the young man lives for his love, the husband lives to lose, the hairdresser lives to find out what she is living for. Long shots reminiscent of paintings reflect the protagonists’ solitude in this quiet love story full of longing and with an unexpected happy ending. Supported by
