34-year-old Miyuki is a traditional Japanese housewife, with her �g
salaryman�h husband and a son. Although she believes her dream
has come true, she secretly feels unsatisfied with the fact her life
completely depends on her husband. Sumiko, Miyuki�fs childhood
friend, is a single woman who has recently been promoted to
a manager at a huge corporation. With her high salary, she doesn�ft
rely on anybody, but she hasn't been romantically involved for some time, and begins to feel anxious about living life alone. Yu is just about
to turn thirty, but still depends on her father and lives at his home as a �gparasite single.�h She cannot figure out what she really wants to do or
what she really wants to be. One day, Miyuki meets an old lady whom she is nursing as her part-time job. Just before passing away, the lady
signs over the deed to a beach house to Miyuki. The old lady turns out to be Yu�fs grandmother. Initially, Miyuki has no idea what she should
do with the beach house, but after being encouraged by Sumiko, whom she reunites with after twenty years, Miyuki finally decides to run it
as a business. Sumiko and Yu also join as business partners, but each of them has a totally different idea for the house and the situation
between them increasingly worsens. Will the beach house succeed? Will the three women release their anxieties and start new lives? |
