Synopsis

A three-part film based on short stories about the struggles of women in the early Meiji era. Part 1 tells of a young woman returning home for the first time after her arranged marriage. Parental pleasure at seeing her vanishes when it turns out she hates the marriage and wants to come home for good. In Part 2, an over-worked and poorly-paid servant in the house of a rich merchant family, needs to borrow from her stingy employer two yen for her poor relatives. Part 3 is centered around a Yoshiwara prostitute who has a patron she is in love with, but is also a big favorite with local gangsters. In addition, she has a creepy, stalker-ish ex-client, living in poverty with his wife and a young son.
