How are you Kizo?

Not very well, because of this work

we don’t work anymore as we used to.

Of course not.

With you, it was good.

We worked hard, carrying heavy stones.

Those are good memories.

Kizo, let’s have a drink together after work.

With pleasure.

Life has turned hard for him

Nowadays, he doesn’t have a work anymore

since the river banks have been built in concrete.

He used to have 7 boats

and 70 employees

Everyone knew the name AKAZA

Again your stories with good-hearted hero.

They don’t understand.

Careful

Hey, do you know what is Môn doing?

Is she still sleeping?

Is Ino back at home?

Daddy!

Next stop is “Tsujiya factory”.

You have a day-off today?

Yes

I’ll see you at your place later today.

What’s the matter?

Your sister is at your home.

My sister? Since when?

- Since five days - Really? That’s strange.

Good day madam.

What are you doing here? If the neighbours see you...

Stop playing with men or you end up like your sister.

Be careful,

Good day Sir,

Good day,

Taichi, hurry up.

Anyway, you’ll hear about it very soon

TSUJIYA NOODLE FACTORY

- San. - Hello.

Today is off?

You’ll see Ino today?

He didn’t come to work?

As soon as he gets some money, He disappears.

But I need him for a job

Please apologise. I’ll tell him.

Yes please.

Her sister, Môn, pays for her nurse school

with the money she took from men

then, she has been fired from her first job

I don’t want you to get involved with Sân

Môn has the nerve to come back to this village

If you let go I hang myself here.

Taiichi, be reasonable, OK?

She looks like an innocent girl, but Sân is just like her sister

Look at her, her mother was a hair-dresser...

Those two girls are only smooth talk and nice touch!

- Welcome. - Good day.

It’s hot today, isn’it? Would you like some cold drink?

How is the business going?

Slowly.

It would be better if there wasn’t shoplifters

shoplifters?

The last time, It was six cakes.

Children?

No, your father and your brother.

But they don’t like cake

Your father steels cake,

not for him but for his former employees.

Ino steels money from the cashdesk

So much trouble on our family...

it’s tragic.

How is he, papa?

He is fine, but complaining a lot as usual.

Môn is back?

Holidays?

No she left her job

She resigned?

What has she done?

Nothing

At the factory they told me that...

What did they tell you?

That I should not play with men like Môn does

with men?

Is that true?

Do you really believe that Môn does it?

Here you are. Eat this

People say that this old Tokiko

is loosing her head.

That is why she is telling stories.

Have this drink, It taste good with this

Thanks

Someone gave it to me, but it is too loud.

Was it Môn?

Me too, I have a present.

Here you are.

What is it?

Bamboo sandals. It’s ideal for summer.

It’s very good quality With nice ribbon...

It must be expensive.

You told me you would like that model.

With your small pay… Thank you.

Can you keep the store?

Of course

I’ll go shopping.

This really looks worn-out...

Of course. It belonged to your brother Your sister, and you.

Just stay there… If a customer comes

Come on, let’s have a drink

Stop it, it is too early

I have something to ask you.

Hell.

What’s the matter?

Are you hiding a girlfriend from me?

Shut-up.

Dad, do you want to try?

Fool!

Go back home!

What a temper! You’re disgusting.

What?

I don’t want to see Môn at home!

Still dragging yourself...

She is dreaming of a romance stroll in the moonlight... ridiculous.

How can you appeal to men with this face?

Finally, you come back pregnant

and then, you complain you ache all over

You just sleep here all day, like a log.

As we don’t know what egg you are going to lay

you’d better not keep it

I hate baby cry at night.

Your boyfriend is clever than you. After having a good fun,

he drops you.

You don’t even have his address.

And you, despite all, you still love that bastard.

What a fool! Still being in love...

You will see, your baby will get bigger

and when he is born,

you’ll be rejected from the society.

Then you’ll have to go to Tokyo and you’ll die with the baby!

Let that be a lesson to you!

Really, because of my sister

you are not allowed to speak to me?

Yes, it’s because of the grand-ma

My father has also been adopted by her

She has nothing in life but work

The word "love" makes her sick

To them, Love is bad

because it misleads young people.

They lost a son during the last war.

If I leave with a woman, it would be a disaster

It is not only because of your sister

Anyway if we get along well

there would be no trouble wouldn’t it

Taiichi, can’t you go back to your real family?

No, they have seven sons….impossible

I don’t want them to argue

You are all old-fashioned

My sister is taking care of herself

It is not your business

We are in the country here.

Tokyo is on the other side of the river.

Sân, you have already seen other places,

but here, there are people who have never travelled to Tokyo

In Tokyo, one has much more freedom than here

It is not far though, just on the other side.

Hey, Kizo...

What do you think..?

Me… in my all life

I have never surrender...

I would never accept

to become a looser!

You are damned right.

Listen to me,

I’m born here, and since then,

I have always lived with this river!

- Who is the old man? - Stop it.

In the old times, we used to stick together

Nowadays, young workers are too hard,

they don’t show respect anymore at work

Hey boss, do you remember...

on new year’s day,

Us, all 70 of your workers,

we stand in line in your garden

receiving greetings, and drinking Saké together.

It was wonderful.

When it comes to organise party, you were,

always the best.

OK, I’ll do it again this year.

For new year’s day

I hate stinginess.

Boss. You remain trustworthy.

Tell me, boss...

me too, I came here at seven,

at 15, I started looking up for stones,

until 20 when I became on my own,

I’ve learned that job, hurting my back everyday

carrying heavy baskets.

I was not the kind that stay by the river looking helpless

under the scorching sun.

You are damned right

every year, during the rainy season the water level could raise

and even when it last long,

our baskets remain at the bottom of the river

with the stones that we had found.

It would stay there

until the end of the rain.

But nowadays...

they just cover the banks with concrete!

Yes, that’s true...

- Please, More sake - right away

have another drink

Don’t worry, This is the only place which is giving me credit.

I don’t think I can live other places.

I am staying here. I am not moving

of course not

I don’t even want you to pick up stones like us

More drinks please.

What’s the matter?

What is happening?

Sân has just come here, you know?

Forget it.

She can not control herself.

But she is my daughter.

Your daughter that you spoiled Look at her now.

Môn, where are you going?

Where are you going?

Go wherever you want.

Ino, be nicer to her.

You don’t have the right to speak to me like that

you neither. You’re just a lazy sloth.

You have to choose the right time to get angry

Just now, this is not the right time for Môn

anyway this is your father’s job

As he doesn’t tell her anything,

we too, should leave her alone

Thanks, but I am bothering everyone here

Yes, you are a pain

Sân will not be able to find an husband like any other girl

Ino, Môn has worked to pay for my studies...

she gave me a chance.

What? Shut up brat

Môn, wait!

Leave me, I’ve decided to go.

But what are you going to do with your baby?

I’ll go and ask the hospital.

No, wait!

I am not an animal

I want to make up for it

but you treat me like a slut

now it’s enough!

Ino, you are not the one who feeds me, I live on my own.

What?

Stop it, please.

I will raise my child by myself.

He is already alive!

Men can not feel this.

I will never abandon him.

Don’t worry anymore, it’s over.

Daddy told me

to take my responsibilities

and that he doesn’t want to see his disgraced daughter anymore

Don’t play the elder brother,

you are giving me headache, that’s all.

I am a big girl, I know how to defend myself

I won’t bother anyone

Sân

Môn

The future bride?

Yes, presumably

It taste good

thank you very much

Good day

Welcome

It smells good.

Look, I bought this cooking pot with your money

but it was so few.

I paid some of it myself

I wanted to have it before you come

Any news from Môn?

She came once for new year’s holidays

Do you want to eat something?

Help yourself.

- Hello. - Hello.

I would like to know...

where does M. AKAZA like

Here is his store.

My name is OBATA

I come to see Môn.

Môn...

Well...

I came to talk with you About her.

Môn is not living here anymore, She is in Tokyo.

Could you please wait for a moment?

Yes.

Sân, take him home.

I am going to find Dad.

Come with me.

Mika, Can you keep the store?

I’ll give you something later

Excuse me

Are you her sister?

Could you please wait here.

Daddy!

He is here, the father!

What?

He is at home.

Môn’s boyfriend...

He is a young student

Be reasonable, no violence.

Maybe he wants to discuss about the baby with Môn

Does he look dishonest?

No, he seems to be well-mannered

Please, have some tea.

Sân

Can you keep the store?

Don’t stay there. Please get in

What do you want?

I haven’t introduce myself,

My name is OBATA

I shouldn’t be here right now.

My father locked me in, I couldn’t get out.

Please forgive me for giving you so much trouble.

I came here today

to give Môn a compensation...

I thought about it all the time...

Did she have an abortion?

Did you come here just to put your mind at ease?

Do you thing that everything is over?

Well, it’s not!

Do you thing we’ll forgive you if you give us money...?

No, but I’d like to help as much as I can...

The child is still-born.

Since that day, Môn is not the same anymore.

Where is she currently living?

I’d like to see her to explain my behaviour and to apologise

I can’t stay like this.

I have no idea. We tried in vain to hold her back here.

Now, she doesn’t give us her address.

Madam.

This is from Sân for your guest.

Really? Thank you.

Even if you genuinely apologise,

I doubt Môn would see you again...

You should better go back home.

M. OBATA,

Don’t you ever do such stupid thing again

This time, You’re the one who won...

Don’t worry, my husband is always like that.

If you can, Please stay for dinner with us…

No, thanks.

Madam,

I have to leave, Thank you very much.

Please.

If Môn comes here one day,

I’ll tell her that you came.

Please ask for her address.

And also

Please accept this. It’s not a lot.

What is this?

Some money, a very small amount.

No, I can’t accept this.

Please... you may need it…

There is no reason I should accept.

Please, I beg you.

This is the only thing I will ask you

This is not a lot

but if you feel pity for me,

accept it, please...

I should go

Wait

How do you call this?

This is boxwood flower

It is really beautiful.

I don’t know if you’ll like it

with pleasure. Thank you very much.

How old are you?

I just got 24.

So, just one year of difference with Môn.

This is my address.

Could you pass it to Môn?

OK, next time she visits us.

Apparently, she often changes location.

Each time, we ask for her address.

But she never tells us.

Well, if you see her...

Wait!

I am Môn’s brother,

I have things to discuss with you, follow me,

Have you seen Môn since then?

No never.

Really? Never?

Listen to me, You are the one who abused my sister

and torment my family how dare you coming here?

When we were small, Môn and I were sleeping in the same bed

When she needed to take a pee,

I would go to the toilet with her

I would carry her on my back...

I preferred playing with her than with my friends.

Until she gets 17

there was no boundaries between us

we were always together on table

We got along better than brother and sister

When she came back pregnant with your child...

I shout at her, treating her like a slut on purpose.

They then started hating me And got softer on Môn

I don’t regret it

If I hadn’t done it, Môn couldn’t cope...

But you, I knew that you’ll come one day...

I was waiting

for that moment where I could tell you about Môn and me.

The daughter of a worker

can not be wit a neat student like you?

One can forgive but

I am not like my father who don’t give a damn about anything

I won’t let you leave like this!

Did you come here only to apologise?

But there is nothing else I can do

what about Môn?

If I see her, we’ll speak about it

Are you going to marry her?

I don’t know. Perhaps.

Liar!

Don’t hit me!

What?

You, bastard, may very well forget everything...

Môn has suffered much more than that!

She is not like she used to be.

She doesn’t want to live with you.

She is worse than before but she is more confident,

She has lost that innocence that you loved

She has nothing left in life...

Because of you.

If you hadn’t touch her...

she wouldn’t be what she is now

Don’t you ever come back!

And promise me that you will never make her cry again.

It was my fault

You are right.

I am her brother.

If you were in my position,

you would understand me.

Go home,

there is a bus stop further in that direction

- Did you find him? - No

Moron... what is he doing?

San.

Let’s go live together in Tokyo.

Later, it would be too late.

The date of my marriage has come.

I am completely stuck, I must leave

But I am not ready yet...

Never mind, we’ll sort it out.

But...

We’ll take time to consider in Tokyo, not here.

I took my decision.

But...

San, You are the one who wanted to go to Tokyo...

We can’t leave like that, without a word.

I’ll be waiting at the bus stop. Will you be there?

Is it OK?

I’ll be waiting. See you in a minute.

I am sorry. Are you hungry?

- Did you have something to eat? - Yes.

Someone was here?

Can you stay until this evening?

Yes.

What is the matter?

Tell me. That man, OBATA...

why did he come...?

To apologise

That’s it

He is so sorry, the poor boy.

Are you going home?

Mom, I have to leave.

Really, so soon? Are you so much busy?

Yes. But I was pleased to see you.

Me too. Well, I won’t insist.

- See you next time - Take care.

- Good bye. - Good bye.

- Two tickets to the station. - OK.

Thank you very much.

They must be looking for me.

Thank you very much

Do you know him?

Wait for me We shouldn’t be seen together.

The tickets?

I go and buy them.

It’s done

The train will leave soon

What is the matter?

Taiichi, I am going back to Tokyo alone.

Why?

Don’t get angry

If we leave together to Tokyo

What can we do there with no future

Even if we find a room in a hotel, we can not live there

Moreover, if the police is after us It would be terrible

What on earth are you talking about? Let’s go now!

Please, think about it.

No, I don’t want to.

Listen, if we get along well it would come naturally.

I am sure we can manage.

But not now.

It is too early. We are not there yet. We can not make it work

Let’s wait until we are sure about ourselves

You don’t love me anymore?

Why don’t you understand? Think about it again

I’ve already thought a lot about it. Let’s go!

No. The only solution you have is to run away

Why can not you just tell them that you love me?

It is hopeless

You are just a big lump

Sân

If you love me, you should tell your family

that you don’t want that marriage

that you would leave the house to live with me

Tell them, or you are not a man

I am going

Sân

No, leave me alone!

During his life, this student never had to take a commitment

A honest, decent and boring life.

I’ve never been like him!

I have just nothing in common wiht those people.

I can have my own opinion, right?

Right.

Boss.

Thank you very much.

Good day.

Good day

Taiichi.

Here, Take over me.

Good day.

Some lemonade please

Hello

Sân, you took an unusual path

Did you stop at the store?

Mum was there?

No. Daddy was sleeping.

Daddy is keeping the store. That’s nice

It has been such a long time

Don’t you look thinner? Especially in the face.

Yes, maybe a little bit.

- You are a grown-up now - Do yo think so?

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Let’s call her.

Hello!

Hello!

She can not hear us.

Mummy.

Dear mother.

OK, I hear you. Get in.

She aged so much

Is she not happy to see us?

- Hello. - Please forgive me for not answering.

You are welcome.

I was sure that you would come for the holidays.

Since yesterday, I am cooking cakes.

Really?

Don’t Sân come often?

No, very rarely.

Before, she was very close to her family.

She told me she has to study a lot to become a mid-wife

That’s a good reason.

Good luck then.

Ahh It is so hot

Is it hot outside? Where did you meet Môn?

- just outside - really?

I have seen the new bride at the noodle factory.

At the wedding ceremony, everybody was wearing autumn kimonos

They didn’t wait for the end of summer

The old lady just couldn’t wait

The kimono of the bride seemed very heavy.

The old Tokiko was wearing a lined kimono...

After that, because of heat rash,

she could’nt take a bath for one month.

You talk nonsense As usual...

you know me well.

Mister OBATA came here.

OBATA?

Really? When?

It was maybe three months ago... Wasn’t it Sân?

Yes.

Why did he come here?

Here is his address.

He came to apologise

- Did he talk with dad? - Yes

What did he say?

Your father? Nothing special.

Wasn’t he too harsh on him?

No, he kept cool It’s rather rare for him.

He even called him “Mister OBATA"

But I was scared your father might become violent

fortunately, he was very polite.

I am sorry to give you so much trouble.

He didn’t have to come

- Did Ino meet him? - No

That’s better! He makes a whole lot of fuss,

he could go over the top.

He was not here

He is an handsome guy Isn’t he?

Who?

Him.

You fool! You still love The one who dropped you?

Stop it. That’s enough.

Here you are Mum

- This is for me? - And here is my present.

- Here you are - What is it?

- Some Yukatas - Really

There are 3 of them

yes for San, she prefers western style

Present for me too?

Here you are

You don’t have to give present to all of us

Would like some tea?

No, thanks. I prefer water from our well.

It is the best water of the world

Really? Have as much as you want

You can change clothes, there is my old summer kimono

With this, you could make a cute robe

cute?

Why not?

I don’t dress like a little girl anymore

Really? You have a boyfriend, right?

Not at all. That is too much...

I don’t have men on my mind

Marriage is not all in life. I need to get a job.

Ahhh!

Life is what matters, right?

Life...

Yes... it’s hard.

According to my experience, men are all bastards

a women of low reputation like me

can easily be liked by men

by playing with them as they expect to... That’s the tactic...

they taught us

I don’t count how many times I believed them...

At the end, they are just all the same.

Now, I don’t care.

Môn, what did you like in OBATA

What a question

I am sure you can find someone better

Maybe there is someone

It’s a big world

I met a couple of nice guys, but

the handsome ones were too pretentious

and those who had money were too violent

He is the only one who is balanced

But if he comes to pick me up I won’t go with him

I still love him in my mind...

But, now he is too lukewarm for me.

Here you are. Nice and cool

I’ll give some good and fresh watermelon.

Here you are

I should take advantage of all soul’s day.

Have a good work.

Same to you, rich man

That’s a good one

You can go and have lunch

hey boss...please

It is tough to work on holiday Without extra money

again?

She has really fallen asleep

Let her sleep... She can rest.

She looks tired.

She probably doesn’t sleep a lot...

- Yoo too, be careful - to what?

The other day, Someone saw you at the station.

It is better for this adopted son To marry someone else

They were in such a hurry for the wedding!

For you, it is too early, isn’t it?

I thought his love was genuine...

Unhappy in Love?

Were you awake?

You should not regret it

You can have any men you want

I’ll find someone nice for you

Mum, I’ve seen OBATA in the bus going to the station

He was eating the cakes.

The cakes I gave him?

He is like a little boy

Good day, Ino

Do you work today?

Theres is no holiday for me!

You are there?

Don’t lie down like a dead person

We’ll have some cake for lunch, OK?

And I’ll make some nice dishes for this evening

Môn, come here.

You should better go home early to have fun with your customers

here is a good-mannered household

I don’t want you to bring mess into it.

Ino!

Anyway, she doesn’t care, even if I shout at her.

That’s enough.

Ino stop it. We don’t see each other very often any more...

There is no use to be nice with her.

Look, Môn brought very nice presents.

I’ll buy you tons of it

No, it’s for you.

I don’t want to wear what she bought with dirty money.

I want her to come back here only when she has a decent job

Shut-up….let’s eat

Môn, come and eat.

This is intermission, understand?

Intermission,

It’s a break during a play. The curtain comes down between two acts.

Now it is time for intermission, we stop the show.

Some green tea

already finished? Do you want something else?

I don’t, because of somebody here

Stop turning the past over

The past is still going on

This guy didn’t have the right to come here

but he took advantage of your good nature

Did you see M OBATA?

- Yes - Where?

I followed him after he left the house.

And then?

What have you done to him?

I beat him up

He didn’t fight back. I scared him a lot It was fun

Come on, tell me that again.

I beat him up

Bastard

How dare you

Who ask you about it?

Why are you such a coward?

What is it between you and him? Nothing?

I gave myself to him but that is not your business!

What?

Stop it!

Who asked you to beat the living daylights out of him?

You are a coward, a swine!

Crazy bitch!

Stop it Ino

stay out of it

What a stupid bastard...

Ino stop it!

You don’t get it

here I am, kill me, kill me!

Kill me you bastard!

Again...

stop it Ino!

You! I know that you just go with sluts

but I don’t go along with your game

According to you,

I am a druken whore

A dissolute woman who can not marry anymore

and who doesn’t give her address to her parents

Exactly

But… someone

who has already offered his apologies...

How can someone dare to take advantage Of his weakness?

I hate those people!

Tomb engraver!

Are you a man?

What a shame to show him that Mon’s brother is such a coward!

Moron!

Keep it down, the neighbours can hear you.

Leave me alone, mum.

I can’t believe my brother be like this.

I can’t stand him anymore

Would you like some more...

Go on, keep hitting me!

Stop it!

Bastard!

Do you think I’ll change my mind Because of your blows?

Those are just for little girls

From here, you can not understand what I am doing in town

Again!

That’s enough now!

You are both the same...

Hit me!

Get out of here and go back to your place!

You changed... you became a fearsome woman...

Mom

Don’t you worry

I beg you

to live a decent life like any well-mannered lady

Earlier, I thought you were even worse than your brother

I am not as bas as you think.

But...

it’s too late for me.

- Have an eye on the house, - OK.

Don’t drink too much.

See you later, Môn.

Shall we go this way?

Ok, let’s go.

And the spoon!

It is too hot to take the bus!

...because...

I have to work very hard and for a long time.

Long...

When will you come back?

I don’t know.

When I wish to see Dad and mum...

and to see Ino too who is neither nice nor fine

but I’ll come to see him though.

Môn, take care.
